Socioemotional self- and co-regulation in functional seizures: Comparing high and low posttraumatic stress
Functional seizures (FS) are seizure-like symptoms without electroencephalogram (EEG)-based epileptic activity. Those with FS often show emotion-related dysfunction and disrupted interpersonal relationships, in which posttraumatic stress disorder symptoms (PTS) may play a role. We sought to better understand trauma comorbidities and socioemotional processes in FS, including affectionate touch, a form of social connection linked to emotion regulat…
Feeling the Absence of Touch: Distancing, Distress, Regulation, and Relationships in the Context of Covid-19
During the COVID-19 pandemic, physical distancing guidelines were implemented to reduce viral spread, altering typical social interactions and reducing the amount of physical contact and affectionate touch many individuals experienced. The pandemic also caused psychological distress, perhaps in part related to reductions in affectionate touch with close others. We theorized that this would be particularly problematic for individuals reliant on af…
Perceived cultural acceptability and comfort with affectionate touch: Differences between Mexican Americans and European Americans
Ethnographic descriptions suggest that cultures differ in the extent to which they value physical touch and its acceptability in different kinds of social relationships. For example, compared to European American (EA) culture, Mexican culture is described as placing greater emphasis on warm interpersonal interactions, in which touch may play an important part. We tested this notion empirically by assessing attitudes about touch among 271 Mexican …

Social influence online: The impact of social validation and likability on compliance
Text-based communication via the Internet has provided new opportunities to study social influence and persuasion. Specifically, Guadagno and Cialdini (2005) contend that the effectiveness of social influence attempts have yet to be thoroughly investigated online. To test Guadagno and Cialdini’s contention, the present study examined whether the social influence principles of likability and social validation impacted individuals’ willingness to c…
Processes linking cultural ingroup bonds and mental health: The Roles of Social Connection and Emotion Regulation
Cultural and ethnic identities influence the relationships individuals seek out and how they feel and behave in these relationships, which can strongly affect mental and physical health through their impacts on emotions, physiology, and behavior. We proposed and tested a model in which ethnocultural identifications and ingroup affiliations were hypothesized explicitly to enhance social connectedness, which would in turn promote expectancy for eff…
Families Coping with Natural Disasters: Lessons from Wildfires and Tornados
Even though parents are the most significant socialization influence during childhood, there has been little study of how parents model and promote their children's adaptive coping in natural disasters. In-depth semi-structured interviews of 56 parents whose families were evacuated from their homes due to wildfires (n = 24, San Diego County, California, October 2007) or multiple deadly tornados (n = 32, Tennessee towns of Lafayette in Macon Count…
Subjective, behavioral, and physiological reactivity to ethnically matched and ethnically mismatched film clips
This study examined whether individuals from 4 major ethnic groups within the United States (African American, Chinese American, European American, and Mexican American) showed greater subjective, behavioral, and physiological responses to emotional film clips (amusement, sadness, and disgust) with actors from their own ethnic group (ethnically matched) compared with actors from the other 3 ethnic groups (ethnically mismatched). Evidence showed g…
The Remains of the Workday: Impact of Job Stress and Exhaustion on Marital Interaction in Police Couples
We examined the impact of job stress and physical exhaustion on the physiological and subjective components of emotional responding during marital interactions between 19 male police officers and their spouses. Couples completed 30-day stress diaries and participated in 4 weekly laboratory interaction sessions. During interactions on days of greater stress, both spouses were more physiologically aroused, husbands reported less positive and more n…
