Biography

Dr. Heidi Kane’s research examines how social and cognitive processes shape interpersonal experiences and how these experiences then impact relationship dynamics and health. She is particularly interested in the biopsychosocial pathways through which close relationships are related to health-related outcomes such as sleep and stress-related physiology. Some of her current research has examined the associations between daily relationship experiences and sleep among romantic couples and romantic relationship quality and inflammation. She also examines stress and coping processes in couples with a special emphasis on social support processes and emotional approach coping using an attachment theoretical perspective. Dr. Kane received her bachelor’s degree from Rhodes College and her PhD from the University of California Santa Barbara.
