Research Overview

In particular my research currently focuses on:

Instrumental Emotion Regulation - This research aims to investigate the emotions people (children and adults) pursue and regulate in various contexts (e.g., in confrontational vs. non-confrontational situations).

Emotion Regulation & Wellbeing - Examines the impact of emotional regulation interventions on health behaviours. Another line of research is concerned with protective factors (e.g., emotion regulation, nature exposure) influencing mental health problems in various populations.
