Associate Professors of Psychology Brenna Hassinger-Das, PhD, and Leora Trub, PhD, along with Paulette Didia, PsyD, a licensed clinical psychologist, co-authored a study, “Stuck in the DMs: The Association between Introversion/Extraversion and Self-Confidence through Text-Based Communication,” in Psychology of Popular Media, about how the impact of texting affects both introverts’ and extroverts’ self-confidence.

In the Media

“In a world where people are constantly looking for simple answers and solutions (e.g. Is technology good or bad?), the fact is that the impact of technology (and in this study, texting specifically) differs based on the interaction between multiple things (in this study, personality characteristics and people’s motivations for texting),” said co-author Leora Trub, an associate professor of psychology at Pace University.
