Sam Addante, Ph.D.

Sam graduated from Oklahoma State University's Clinical Psychology Ph.D. program under the mentorship of Lucia Ciciolla, Ph.D in 2023. Prior to attending OSU, Sam completed her bachelor’s degree at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign. Sam’s research focuses on examining family emotion-related processes from a developmental psychopathology framework. Sam is specifically interested in understanding the intergenerational transmission of trauma and its effects on a family’s psychosocial functioning. In addition, Sam is interested in investigating factors that may protect against the negative effects of transmission of trauma, such as emotion regulation skills.
