Biography
Dr. Delmar grew up in the small town of Cartwright, MB, and now live in the small town of New Bothwell, MB with his wife, Brenda, and our three children. As a rural Manitoban, he grew up, and remain, a dedicated sports fan. Golf is a primary summer hobby. His family attends The Meeting Place in Winnipeg. He was trained at the University of Manitoba, earning my Ph. D. in 1999. I taught sessionally at the University of Manitoba and University of Winnipeg before coming to CMU. He taught at CMU since 2000, and I'm wide variety of courses including Social Psychology, Developmental Psychology, Cognitive Processes, and Psychology & Christianity. These courses appeal to many students because we're able to explore some of the mysteries of our human nature, and to entertain some "completely different ideas" about ourselves. As Christians, and as psychologists, we strive to foster positive change in society, and we cannot hope to achieve that change without understanding how we think and function.
Research Interest
His current research has focused on the motives that result in social judgments, and in our willingness to affiliate with other people.
