About

Emotion regulation has become a key component of psychological research and practice due to its far-reaching effects on individuals’ health, well-being, and academic development. The current dissertation project incorporates multiple studies exploring: 1) parent-child interpersonal emotion regulation, and 2) physiological responses across different emotion regulation goals. The first aim is to investigate parent-child interpersonal emotion regulation. Specifically, we seek to understand how different interpersonal emotion regulation strategies relate to outcomes for both parents (e.g., psychological health, parental exhaustion) and children (e.g., psychological adjustment, academic achievement). To achieve these research objectives, we use longitudinal large-scale assessment and experience sampling. The second research objective focuses on physiological and experiential processes of emotion and emotion regulation. We experimentally investigate individuals’ cardiovascular responses and emotional experiences across different emotion regulation goals. This part of the dissertation project is supervised by the Stanford Psychophysiology Laboratory.
