How and why does emotion influence cognition and social behavior? Many people find such questions to be intuitively intriguing, as if personally relevant and familiar, yet mysterious nonetheless.
Work in my lab aims to further our understanding of emotion-cognition interactions at multiple levels of analysis: neural, genetic, cognitive, and whole-person. Our research is concerned with characterizing such interactions (what are they?), the mechanisms of such interactions (how do they work?), and the rationale (why are they there?). We pay particular attention to individual differences and implications for social processes.
