Autor

Peter J. Rentfrow, PhD, bounced around the United States, from Louisiana to Texas to New York to Massachusetts, and somehow landed in England, where he is currently a university senior lecturer (associate professor) in the Department of Psychology at the University of Cambridge and a Fellow of Fitzwilliam College.   His research concerns Person X Environment interactions and focuses on the ways in which personality is expressed in everything from people's preferences for music to the places in which they live.   Dr. Rentfrow's research on these topics has appeared in several of the most prestigious journals in psychology - including American Psychologist, the Journal of Personality, the Journal of Personality and Social Psychology, Personality and Social Psychology Bulletin, Perspectives on Psychological Science, and Psychological Science. He is committed to educating the public about psychological research and does so by giving lectures and designing online interactive psychology surveys, most recently the BBC's Big Personality Test.
