In the lab, we are interested in studying how, why, and under what circumstances culture exerts an influence on the emotion system.

Our work is conducted using a number of methods, including self-report, coding of behavioral data, and collection of psychophysiological data. We study different aspects of the emotion system such as emotional reactivity or expressivity, emotion regulation, empathic understanding of other’s emotions, and emotion language. Finally, we will study how the interaction of culture with these processes affects the psychological and physical well-being of the individual.
