Dr. Sarah Lyle is the director of Eckerd’s Health and Well-Being Lab, and she teaches courses in health psychology, developmental psychology, and research methods.

Her research takes an interdisciplinary approach to the study of stress and resilience across the lifespan. Students volunteering with the Health and Well-Being Lab can gain a variety of research skills including, sleep assessment, anthropometric measurement (e.g., blood pressure, height, weight, and waist and hip circumference), qualitative coding (e.g., scoring interviews, observational videos, and written responses), acute stress administration (e.g., Cold Presser Task and the Trier Social Stress Test), psychosocial measurement selection, and statistical techniques.
