Biography

David Moscovitch is a Professor at the University of Waterloo in the Department of Psychology. His research primarily focuses on social anxiety and its intersection with self-concept and memory processes. He investigates how social anxiety influences thoughts, emotions, and behaviors within social contexts, with particular emphasis on autobiographical memory and self-schema processes. By bridging clinical models of social anxiety disorder with cognitive and neurocognitive approaches, Moscovitch aims to identify underlying mechanisms of social anxiety and translate this knowledge into effective psychological interventions. He collaborates with various clinical research scientists and holds an Adjunct Scientist position at the Rotman Research Institute at Baycrest. His work is guided by theoretical models and aims to advance understanding mechanisms of social anxiety to develop innovative, evidence-based interventions.
