My research investigates when and why our emotions can be either helpful or harmful in social interactions. To address this question, my work considers underlying person-level (e.g., personality traits, age) and expression-level (e.g., specific emotions, language) factors which may influence how emotion is expressed and/or how individuals react.

This work uses a range of methodologies and tools, including experimental/survey design, analyses of archival datasets, language analysis (e.g., LIWC), multilevel modeling, and open science practices.
