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. More recently we developed a self-report measure of emotional experience that distinguishes emotional components (e.g., reactivity vs. regulation; sensitivity vs. intensity vs. persistence). A long-term interest is the development of an evolutionarily grounded theory of basic emotions.
