Press release from Buffalo State College: Michael Canfield June 30, 2021 As the restrictions around COVID-19 are lifted, and more and more people hit the road to return to their work spaces and routines, you may have heard a familiar refrain: "People have forgotten how to drive." Is it true? Are drivers worse now than they were before the coronavirus pandemic took over the world? The answer, according to Dwight A. Hennessy, department chair and professor of psychology at Buffalo State College, is probably not. Here's how he sees the phenomenon.     Name: Dwight A. Hennessy Title: Professor and Chair of the Psychology Department Hennessy received his bachelor's degree in psychology from the University of Windsor in 1992, his master's in psychology from York University in 1995, and his Ph.D. in personality and social psychology from York University in 1999. He specializes in social, environmental, consumer, and traffic psychology. Before joining the faculty at Buffalo State College in 2000, Hennessy worked as a market research analyst and consultant.     This press release was produced by Buffalo State College.
