Principal Investigator and Lab Director
Dr. King is a Professor of Clinical and Quantitative Psychology at the University of Washington in Seattle, WA. Dr. King is a clinical and quantitative psychologist who is interested in understanding how psychopathology (such as drug and alcohol disorders, and behavioral and emotional disorders) develops during adolescence and young adulthood. His research takes a developmental psychopathology perspective, which views psychopathology as arising from interactions between individuals and their contexts across development.
Although we have studied multiple outcomes and processes, the core of my research has focused on how impulsivity develops during adolescence and young adulthood, how the development of impulsivity is associated with psychopathology, how context shapes the ability to control one’s impulses in the moment and across development, and how impulsivity may either enhance or buffer the effects of other risk factors on problematic alcohol and drug use.
In order to test these types of questions, our lab use a variety of observational and experimental methods. Much of our research used short and long-term longitudinal data collection (such as ecological momentary assessment; EMA, and longitudinal data collection) and longitudinal data analysis (generalized mixed linear (i.e. multilevel) models, latent growth curve, growth mixture, latent difference score models).
Our lab also has a line of methodological research focused on improving the implementation of statistical methods among applied researchers.
Dr. King completed his PhD. in Clinical Psychology from Arizona State University in 2007, and his clinical internship at the University of Pittsburgh Medical Center/Western Psychiatric Institute and Clinic from 2006 - 2007. He has been on faculty at the University of Washington in Clinical and Quantitative Psychology since 2007.
