Leona Aiken is President’s Professor of psychology at Arizona State University (ASU). In 1998 she became the founding chair of the Ph.D. concentration in Quantitative Methods in Psychology at ASU. Aiken's research spans both method and substance in psychology. Her methodological work has in the main focused on models containing continuous variable interactions. She is co-author with Stephen West of the book "Multiple Regression: Testing and interpreting interactions." She is also co-author with Jacob Cohen, Patricia Cohen, and Stephen West of the third edition of "Applied Multiple Regression/Correlation Analysis for the Behavioral Sciences." Her work on continuous variable interactions includes interactions in both the measured and latent variable frameworks. Her substantive research focuses on women's health protective behavior across the lifespan. She has been recognized repeatedly for her teaching and mentoring, most recently as ASU Outstanding Graduate Mentor, ASU Professor of the Year, and as an ASU President’s Professor. She currently serves on the editorial boards of Psychological Methods, Multivariate Behavioral Research, and the American Psychologist. She is past president of the Society of Multivariate Experimental Psychology, Western Psychological Association and the Division of Evaluation, Measurement, and Statistics of the American Psychological Association.
Ph.D. Purdue University 1970
Aiken's research interests include both quantitative methods and health psychology. In quantitative methods she is interested in continuous variable interactions in multiple regression. She is also interested in the use of design approaches and mediational analysis to untangle the effects of individual components in multi-component interventions. In health psychology, Aiken is interested in adoption of health protective behaviors across the life span, particularly among women, both from the perspectives of psychosocial models of the putative determinants of health protective behavior and from the perspective of interventions to increase health protective behavior. She has studied mammography screening, condom use, sun protection, and the adoption of hormone replacement therapy.
Health psychology research projects: Determinants of perceived susceptibility to diseases of aging, post-decisional processes following the adoption of hormone replacement therapy, strategies for piercing perceptions of invulnerability to disease, understanding of osteoporosis risk and osteoporosis protective health practices among young women, determinants of use of sun protection against skin cancer among young adult males.
