Author Information

Karin Sternberg, Ph.D., is a research associate at Cornell University. She has a Ph.D. in psychology from the University of Heidelberg, Germany, as well as an MBA with a specialization in banking from the University of Cooperative Education in Karlsruhe, Germany. Karin completed some of her doctoral research at Yale and her postdoctoral work at the University of Connecticut. Afterward, she worked as a research associate at Harvard University's Kennedy School of Government and School of Public Health. She has held a grant from the National Institutes of Health for the development of a cognitive training program for seniors. She currently teaches Child Development and Cognitive Development at Cornell University. Sternberg's interest focuses on the application of psychological/behavioral research with the purpose of improving people's relationships and lives. This passion led her to develop the concept for this textbook, which she uses in her own Child Development course at Cornell. In line with the effort of putting research into practice, Sternberg, together with her husband Robert J. Sternberg, has developed the concept of True Compatibility in relationships and is using his theory of love as well as relationship research in general to help people find their true love and create happy, life-long relationships. Sternberg is the author of a textbook on the psychology of love, Love 101, and the coauthor of The Psychologist's Companion, Cognitive Psychology, The Nature of Hate, and The New Psychology of Love, among other books.
