Chayce Baldwin

I am a PhD candidate in Psychology at the University of Michigan, working with Drs. Ethan Kross and Shinobu Kitayama.  

I study how people pursue well-being and how they can do so better. 

Understanding how this works can be surprisingly complex. So, I try to capture a more organic and comprehensive picture of this striving for thriving by looking beyond individuals to their systems—the cultural, social, and physiological “machines” that configure the interconnected parts of human life to shape well-being.

I seek to integrate perspectives and methods from social, affective, and cultural psychology with complex systems, sociology, and computational science. 

I also maintain r4psych.org, a free guide to learning R pragmatically for psychological research.
