Fields of interest

Our lab is interested in the role of emotions in healthy and atypical human functioning. Specifically, we aim to better understand how individuals differ in their ability to regulate their emotions.

Differences in the ability to regulate emotions in context-appropriate ways represent a clinically meaningful phenomenon that plays a role in the emergence of mood disorders.

Research in our lab focuses on the mechanisms that underlie difficulty in regulating emotions as well as develop interventions to improve regulation capacity.
