David A. Kenny

Board of Trustees Distinguished Professor of Psychology

David A. Kenny studies person perception – how we get to know other people, and the judgments we make about other people.  One area of his research is meta-perception -- he studies how we come across to other people – and he has found that we underestimate the variability in the impression we make on others. How married and dating couples perceive each other and how that changes over time is another research interest. Kenny, who came to UConn in 1978, was recently elected a fellow of the American Academy of Arts and Sciences.
