Peter Salovey (born 1958) is an American social psychologist who served as the 23rd president of Yale University from 2013 to 2024 and remains Sterling Professor of Psychology there. Born in Cambridge, Massachusetts, he studied at Stanford and took his doctorate at Yale in 1986 under Judith Rodin. His best known research is on emotional intelligence, a concept he expanded with John D. Mayer by arguing that people differ in their abilities to perceive, reason about and manage emotion, and that emotion can drive productive outcomes when properly directed; the two developed the Mayer-Salovey-Caruso Emotional Intelligence Test. A second line of work in health psychology applies social psychology to health messages about HIV risk, cancer screening and smoking. He has authored or edited thirteen books and published more than 350 articles.
