Author: Steven E. Stern
Ph.D; Professor of Psychology
Steven E. Stern has studied human-technology interaction since the early 1990s. While his initial work examined the effects of performing automated tasks on how people felt about themselves, he has since examined other links between technology and human functioning, including a challenge to the legitimacy of Internet addiction as a clinical diagnosis, the use of email as a data collection tool, and how people react to speech disabled people who are dependent on computer synthesized speech as an assistive technology. Dr. Stern has been at the University of Pittsburgh of Johnstown since 1996 and currently serves as the Chair of the Department of Psychology.
