About the Lab
About the LabPeople’s lives are saturated with emotions (feelings, emotional behaviors, and associated bodily reactions), yet emotions usually don’t just happen to us. Most of the time, we attempt to regulate our emotions in some way, by denying, intensifying, weakening, masking, or completely transforming them. The Emotion & Emotion Regulation Laboratory at Berkeley seeks to understand how emotions and emotion regulation relate to social processes, well-being, and health. We study these questions in diverse samples from around the world and within the US, and examine them through (a) Laboratory studies; (b) Diary assessments; (b) Questionnaires; (c) Implicit assessment methods; (d) Behavior assessments (e.g., coding of facial expressions); (e) Measurement of physiological responses (e.g., blood pressure, heart rate). |
