Biography

Jaime Palmer-Hague is an Assistant Professor of Psychology in the Faculty of Humanities and Social Sciences at Trinity Western University. Her academic research involves the influences of steroid hormones on personality, social behavior, cognition, and sex ratio in human populations. Dr. Palmer-Hague’s most recent research investigates the role of testosterone in the modulation of the human sex ratio, and how this might involve differences in personality, mating behaviour, and cognition in men and women. She is also working on projects related to the physiological foundations of other social behaviour, such as aggression, in women. Dr. Palmer-Hague has also done work related to the cognitive effects of endocrine manipulation drugs used to treat reproductive cancers. One of her current projects involves the influence of LHRH agonists/antagonists used to treat prostate cancer on social-cognitive behaviour in men. In the past, she has also looked at how Tamoxifen, an anti-estrogen used to treat breast cancer, effects cognitive abilities in women.
