In this episode, I chat with Dr Royette T. Dubar about her research paper, "What's your religious coping profile? Difference in religious orientation and subjective sleep among religious coping groups in the United States."
Dr. Royette T. Dubar was born on the small Caribbean Island of Dominica (not to be confused with the Dominican Republic). While pursuing an Associate's Degree in General Liberal Arts at the University of St. Martin, she took her first Psychology course and developed a passion for studying human behaviour.
Royette obtained a Bachelor of Science Degree in Psychology from Trent University and a Master's Degree in Child and Youth Studies from Brock University in Canada.
Dr Dubar's dedication to understanding what factors contribute to youth well-being led her to explore the topic of sleep. Her research interests include the important role that sleep plays across multiple domains of psychosocial adjustment.
She obtained her Ph.D. in Psychology from Brock University and is currently the Director of the Sleep and Psychosocial Adjustment Lab (Spa Lab) at Wesleyan University.
