Overview

Clive D. L. Wynne is affiliated with Arizona State University in the United States and has contributed extensively to research in biochemistry, genetics, molecular biology, and psychology. Their work spans several subfields including genetics, small animals, social psychology, geography, planning and development, and experimental and cognitive psychology. The primary focus of Wynne's research lies in topics such as human-animal interaction studies, animal behavior and welfare studies, geographies of human-animal interactions, neuroendocrine regulation and behavior, evolutionary psychology and human behavior, veterinary practice and education studies, and primate behavior and ecology.

Wynne has published numerous papers in a variety of peer-reviewed journals, frequently contributing to the following venues:

  • Animals
  • PeerJ
  • Learning & Behavior
  • Anthrozoös
  • Animal Cognition

Among Wynne's recent publications are:

  • Humanity's Best Friend: A Dog-Centric Approach to Addressing Global Challenges, 2020, published in Animals
  • Pet dogs (Canis lupus familiaris) release their trapped and distressed owners: Individual variation and evidence of emotional contagion, 2020, published in PLoS ONE
  • The Indispensable Dog, 2021, published in Frontiers in Psychology
  • Dogs' (Canis lupus familiaris) behavioral adaptations to a human-dominated niche: A review and novel hypothesis, 2021, published in Advances in the study of behavior
  • Investigating the Impact of Brief Outings on the Welfare of Dogs Living in US Shelters, 2021, published in Animals

Wynne's collaborations include frequent co-authorship with researchers such as:

  • Rachel J. Gilchrist
  • Anamarie C. Johnson
  • Lisa M. Gunter
  • Erica N. Feuerbacher
  • Joshua Van Bourg

The scientist's interdisciplinary approach bridges biological sciences and psychology, with a notable emphasis on the dynamics between humans and animals. This is demonstrated by their volume of publications on the behavior and welfare of animals, especially domestic dogs, as well as their exploration of neuroendocrine and evolutionary psychology perspectives. Wynne's work also addresses the spatial and social aspects influencing human-animal relationships, contributing to both theoretical understanding and practical implications in veterinary and behavioral sciences.

Related Online Degrees & Career Pathways

For those interested in advancing their careers in psychology, a range of online degree programs can prepare you for various roles — from mental health counseling to clinical practice. Many professionals begin with a bachelor’s degree in psychology before pursuing a master’s or doctorate, especially for roles requiring licensure.

Aspiring mental health counselors should pay attention to both state-specific and city-specific requirements. For example, you can learn about mental health counselor requirements in St. Petersburg or seek guidance on the Stockton mental health counselor education requirements. Similarly, if you’re looking to become a mental health counselor in Tampa, each location may have unique criteria regarding supervised practice, exams, and certification.

Exploring opportunities such as mental health counselor requirements in Toledo can help you map out your education and licensing path, whichever state you choose. With the flexibility of online psychology degrees, you can pursue these professional goals and tailor your studies to meet local licensure standards.
