Ph.D (University of Notre Dame, IN)
My research strives toward addressing three questions important to understanding how to promote health and well-being across the lifespan. First, what is the role of personality and individual differences in predicting health outcomes? Toward this end, my work has focused on identifying the pathways by which personality traits predict health. In turn, my research also examines the mechanisms that underlie personality development, in order to help us understand what leads to adaptive personality changes.
Second, what are the benefits associated with presumptively moral or prosocial personality characteristics? For instance, my work has demonstrated that individuals who place greater emphasis on life goals focused on benefiting others tend to report greater personal well-being. In addition, my studies suggest that being dispositionally forgiving or grateful may lead to greater psychological, emotional, and physical health.
Third, my research investigates a number of important questions related to whether and how adolescents find a purpose or direction for their lives. For instance, what does having a purpose mean to youth, and what kinds of purposes do youth nominate? In addition, my work has shown that purposeful adolescents tend to fare better across a wide array of psychological and development outcomes. |

Dr. Matthew Young is a Senior Research and Policy Analyst at the Canadian Centre on Substance Abuse (CCSA) and an Adjunct Research Professor of Psychology at Carleton University. He is also lead researcher of CCSA’s monitoring and surveillance activities, which includes the Canadian Community Epidemiology Network on Drug Use (CCENDU) and the Student Drug Use Surveys working group (see the Cross Canada report on student alcohol and drug use for an example of the group’s activities). His research has employed community level indicators to identify new psychoactive substances (for example, see CCENDU “Bath Salts” Alert) or timely information on substance use trends (see CCENDU Opioid Bulletin) as well as survey data or hospital utilization data to assess the prevalence and harms associated with substance use. In addition, to drug use epidemiology, he is also interested in systematic reviews and rapid review methods and recently completed a systematic review assessing the effectiveness of brief interventions in reducing the non-medical use of psychoactive substances (see publications below). Before joining CCSA, Dr. Young conducted research on problem gambling (PG) – specifically, developing and evaluating PG screening tools and assessment instruments as well as conducting PG epidemiological research. |
