Biographical Information:
Dr.
De Los Reyes received his Ph.D. in 2008 from Yale University. He
completed his training at the APA-accredited clinical internship at the
University of Illinois at Chicago, Department of Psychiatry, Institute
for Juvenile Research. Dr. De Los Reyes is currently an Assistant
Professor in the Department of Psychology and Director of the
Comprehensive Assessment and Intervention Program (CAIP) at the
University of Maryland at College Park. His research focuses on improving best practices when assessing child, adolescent, and family behavior, with an emphasis on multi-informant assessments of adolescent social anxiety and family conflict.
Dr. De Los Reyes received the 32nd President's New Researcher Award from the Association for Behavioral and Cognitive Therapies (2011). He also received the 2011 Early Career Award from the American Psychological Association’s Division 29 (Psychotherapy). His work has been published in Psychological Science's premier peer-reviewed journal outlets, including Psychological Review (2006), Psychological Bulletin (2005), Psychological Assessment (2004, 2008), Current Directions in Psychological Science (2008), Clinical Psychology Review (2011), Review of General Psychology (Forthcoming), Journal of Child Psychology and Psychiatry (Forthcoming), and Development and Psychopathology (Forthcoming). He has also received NIH support for this work via NRSA (MH67540) and Diversity Supplement (DA018647-05S1) grants.
Dr. De Los Reyes has also amassed editorial experiences through a number of peer-reviewed journal outlets. For instance, he served as Guest Editor for a Special Section in the Journal of Clinical Child and Adolescent Psychology on the topic of multi-informant clinical child assessments (January 2011). He currently serves as Associate Editor for both the Journal of Clinical Child and Adolescent Psychology and Journal of Child and Family Studies. He has either served or currently serves on the Editorial Boards of seven peer-reviewed journals including the Journal of Consulting and Clinical Psychology, Behavior Therapy, Child and Youth Care Forum, Universitas Psychologica (Pan-American Journal of Psychology), and International Journal of Clinical and Health Psychology.
Dr. De Los Reyes’ latest work focuses on three issues:
First, Dr. De Los Reyes has developed and tested assessment protocols that train parents and their children to provide reports of child and family behavior based on the contexts in which they observe such behaviors. His laboratory has either tested or is seeking to pilot test versions of these assessment protocols tailored toward assessments of adolescent social anxiety, what parents know about their adolescents' whereabouts and activities, and disruptive behavior in young children. Initial findings of this work will soon appear in the Journal of Child and Family Studies (in press), and a number of grant applications for funding to continue this work are pending review.
Second, through internal funding from the University of Maryland Dr. De Los Reyes has been collecting data on two projects seeking to improve how researchers incorporate biological data (heart rate variability, salivary cortisol, genotyping), environmental risk reports (e.g., family relationship variables), laboratory observations of behavior, and informants' behavioral reports in both clinical and community based assessments. His clinical work focuses on improving clinical assessments of adolescent social anxiety. Dr. De Los Reyes' community based work focuses on improving comprehensive assessments of parent-adolescent conflict. His laboratory has submitted manuscripts reporting the initial findings from this work, as well as grant applications to continue funding this work; these are also currently pending review.
Third, Dr. De Los Reyes has been collecting pilot data testing novel assessment paradigms of various forms of psychopathology, mainly in college student samples. In one area, he and his colleagues have translated animal research on how organisms come to understand patterns in their environment into easy-to-use computer-based tasks that appear to strongly correlate with self-reported ADHD symptoms. In another area, Dr. De Los Reyes and colleagues have drawn from recent work on how subtle manipulations to people's physical environments influence their judgments of objects and people to identify a task that seems to influence judgments of most people but has no apparent effect on people who have particularly hard times making decisions about everyday things (e.g., people who often report feeling worried). Articles reporting the initial findings of this work are either available on the website's article request page or by contacting Dr. De Los Reyes.
