Professor Arnold Sameroff
Arnold Sameroff, professor of psychology, LSA, and research professor in the Center for Human Growth and Development, retired effective May 31, 2011. Sameroff joined the U-M faculty as professor in 1992. He proposed a new theoretical model for conceptualizing how biological and environmental risk factors operate together as causes of developmental impairments in childhood. He is widely regarded as one of the founders of an important new field of behavioral science, developmental psychopathology. He has received the G. Stanley Hall Award for Distinguished Contribution to Developmental Psychology and the Distinguished Scientist Award from the Society for Research in Child Development.
