Patrick S. Malone
Ph.D., Social Psychology, University of Texas - Austin, 1993

Dr. Malone is a quantitative psychologist with training in social psychology and interests in applied developmental psychology. His recent work is primarily on methods for assessing development and prevention of adolescent substance use, including tobacco, alcohol, and illicit drugs, though he has published research in a wide range of areas relating to children and families. He has been on the faculty at the University of South Carolina since August, 2007. Dr. Malone is a member of the NICHD-funded Parenting Across Cultures Working Group based at Duke University, as well as the NIMH- and NIDA-funded Prevention Science & Methodology Group. He sits on the editorial boards of Personality and Social Psychology Bulletin and Prevention Science.

Dr. Malone's current work involves a number of areas of statistical methods: principally longitudinal methods for studying development over time, but also methods for analyses in the context of missing data and latent variable methods. His work is funded by a K01 Mentored Research Scientist Development Award from the National Institute on Drug Abuse, which provides resources and protected time to improve his research skills as well as to investigate specific research questions on youth substance use.
