Emotion
A third interest in lab is emotion. In the past we have examined the
psychometric properties of emotion measures, as well as the application of
self-report,
psychophysiological, and
diary
measures of emotion to the study of clinical disorders and behaviours.
We maintain an interest in the empirical and conceptual differentiation of emotional components (e.g., reactivity vs. regulation;
sensitivity vs. intensity vs. persistence), as well as the development of an evolutionarily grounded theory of basic emotions.
