Research

My research investigates when and why our emotions can be helpful or harmful for our social relationships and well-being. I use a range of methodologies, including analyses of rich archival datasets, language analysis (e.g., LIWC), multilevel modeling, experimental/survey design, and open science practices.

Language and other measures used to study emotion

Do emotion word dictionary approaches correlate with other measures (e.g., self-report, facial expressions) often used to study emotion?

Emotional expression in couples' conflicts across the lifespan

Do expressions of sadness and anger impact older couples' perceptions of their relationships differently than younger couples?

Attention to own and others' emotion

Do individual differences in attention to one's own emotions relate to the interpretation of other people's facial expressions?
