  • Is academia for everyone? A closer look into the experiences of U.S. psychology doctoral students

    Open AccessDeborah J Wu, Stylianos Syropoulo et al.ARTICLEAnalyses of Social Issues and…2026

    Graduate school can be a highly uncertain and stressful time. Stressors may be exacerbated for individuals with historically marginalized social identities within the academy (e.g., female students, students from low‐income backgrounds, and people of color). We predicted that female students and students of color would report more negative program experiences, and that these identities, along with financial status, would be associated with decrea…

  • Disrupted physiological coregulation in youth at clinical high risk for psychosis: Insights from a dyadic interaction study

    Open AccessAlison Schreiber, Matias Martinez et al.ARTICLEEmotion2025

    Interpersonal difficulties have long been implicated in psychopathology. However, we know quite little about how social (dis-)connection unfolds at the physiological level in real time in clinical populations, including among youth at clinical high risk for psychosis (CHR). The present laboratory-based dyadic interaction study examined physiological coregulation in 70 dyads across 137 participants (32 CHR youth-caregiver dyads; 38 healthy youth-c…

  • The Emotional Dimensions of Educational Change: A Review and Interdisciplinary Framework for Future Research

    Open AccessNaomi L Blaushild, Melanie Muskin et al.ARTICLEEducational Researcher2025

    Extensive research documents how teachers’ understandings of education reforms impact implementation and outcomes. However, the role of teachers’ emotional sensemaking in the context of reform remains underexplored. This article reviews research on teachers’ emotional responses to reform and argues that an overreliance on retrospective, self-report measures limits our understanding of teachers’ real-time emotions during the reform process. To bui…

  • The More Similar, the Better? Associations Between Latent Semantic Similarity and Emotional Experiences Differ Across Conversation Contexts

    Open AccessChen-Wei Yu, Yun-Shiuan Chuang et al.ARTICLEJournal of Language and Social…2025References: 63

    Latent semantic similarity (LSS) is a measure of the similarity of information exchanges in a conversation. Challenging the assumption that higher LSS bears more positive psychological meaning, we propose that this association might depend on the type of conversation people have. On the one hand, the share-mind perspective would predict that higher LSS should be associated with more positive emotional experiences across the board. The broaden-and…

  • Better together: Coexperienced positive emotions and cortisol secretion in the daily lives of older couples

    Open AccessTomiko Yoneda, Nathan A Lewis et al.ARTICLEJournal of Personality and Social…2025

    An emerging body of research suggests that shared positive emotions predict health and longevity over and above individually experienced positive emotions. However, the extent to which relationship partners coexperience positive emotions in daily life remains poorly understood. Moreover, while laboratory research shows important distal effects of shared positive emotions on health and longevity, the extent to which positive emotions may "get unde…

  • Facial expressions in adolescent–parent interactions and mental health: A proof-of-concept study

    Open AccessSophie E Rodosky, Jacquelyn Stephens et al.ARTICLEEmotion2023

    Parent-child relationships are hotbeds of emotion and play a key role in mental health. The present proof-of-concept study examined facial expressions of emotion during adolescent-parent interactions and links with internalizing mental health symptoms. Neutral, negative, and positive facial expressions were objectively measured in 28 parent-adolescent dyads during three 10-min dyadic interactions. Internalizing mental health symptoms were measure…

  • Feelings in words: Emotion word use and cardiovascular reactivity in marital interactions

    Tabea Meier, Jacquelyn Stephens et al.ARTICLEEmotion2023

    Putting feelings into words is often thought to be beneficial. Few studies, however, have examined associations between natural emotion word use and cardiovascular reactivity. This laboratory-based study examined emotion word use (i.e., from computerized text analysis) and cardiovascular reactivity (i.e., interbeat interval changes from baseline) across two interaction contexts (i.e., conflict and positive conversations) in 49 mixed-sex married c…

  • Can emotional acceptance buffer the link between executive functioning and mental health in late life

    David B Rompilla, Jaquelyn E Stephens et al.ARTICLEEmotion2023

    Emotional acceptance is thought to play an important role in protecting mental health. However, few studies have examined emotional acceptance among older adults who may experience declines in functioning, including executive functioning. The present laboratory-based study examined whether emotional acceptance and (to determine specificity) detachment and positive reappraisal moderated links between executive functioning and mental health symptom…

  • Emotion Regulation in Couples Across the Life Span

    Jacquelyn Stephens, Jacquelyn E Stephens et al.CHAPTEROxford Handbook of Emotional…2022

    Intimate relationships are hotbeds of emotions. Much of what psychologists know about emotion regulation comes from single-subject studies; but a growing body of research has examined emotion regulation in couples. This chapter provides an overview of dimensions of emotion regulation in couples (with a focus on dynamic, iterative, and co-regulatory qualities) and measures (with a focus on differences between self-report and performance-based meas…

  • Executive functioning and nontarget emotions in late life

    Jacquelyn Stephens, David B Rompilla et al.ARTICLEEmotion2022

    When confronted with an emotion prototype (e.g., loss), individuals may experience not only target emotions (e.g., sadness), but also nontarget emotions (emotions that are atypical or incongruent with an emotion prototype; e.g., gratitude in response to loss). What are the cognitive correlates of nontarget emotions? Drawing from models of emotion generation, the present laboratory-based study examined associations between aspects of executive fun…

  • Positivity resonance in long-term married couples: Multimodal characteristics and consequences for health and longevity

    Open AccessJenna L Wells, Claudia M Haase et al.ARTICLEJournal of Personality and Social…2022Cited by: 4

    The Positivity Resonance Theory of coexperienced positive affect describes moments of interpersonal connection characterized by shared positive affect, caring nonverbal synchrony, and biological synchrony. The construct validity of positivity resonance and its longitudinal associations with health have not been tested. The current longitudinal study examined whether positivity resonance in conflict interactions between 154 married couples predict…

  • Emotion regulation in the face of loss: How detachment, positive reappraisal, and acceptance shape experiences, physiology, and perceptions in late life

    Open AccessDavid B Rompilla, Emily F Hittner et al.ARTICLEEmotion2021

    How individuals regulate emotions in the face of loss has important consequences for well-being and health, but we know little about which emotion regulation strategies are most effective for older adults for whom loss is ubiquitous. The present laboratory-based study examined effects of three emotion regulation strategies (i.e., detachment, positive reappraisal, or acceptance in response to film clips depicting loss) on subjective emotional expe…

  • Alterations in Emotional Diversity Correspond With Increased Severity of Attenuated Positive and Negative Symptoms in the Clinical High-Risk Syndrome

    Open AccessZachary Anderson, Tina Gupta et al.ARTICLEFrontiers in Psychiatry2021

    Background: Alterations in emotional functioning are a key feature of psychosis and are present in individuals with a clinical high-risk (CHR) syndrome. However, little is known about alterations in emotional diversity (i.e., the variety and relative abundance of emotions that humans experience) and clinical correlates in this population. Methods: Individuals meeting criteria for a CHR syndrome ( N = 47) and matched healthy controls (HC) ( N = 58…

  • Be here now: Perceptions of uncertainty enhance savoring

    Andrew L Gregory, Jordi Quoidbach et al.ARTICLEEmotion2021

    Savoring-an emotion-regulation strategy that involves deliberately upregulating positive affect-has many benefits, but what enhances savoring in the present moment? Drawing from life-history theory, affective and developmental science, and social-psychological frameworks, we examined the idea that perceptions of uncertainty--perceiving the world as random and unpredictable-enhance subsequent savoring. In a large experience-sampling study (Study 1…

  • Empathy in context: Socioeconomic status as a moderator of the link between empathic accuracy and well-being in married couples

    Open AccessEmily F Hittner, Claudia M HaaseARTICLEJournal of Social and Personal…2021Cited by: 4References: 95

    The present laboratory-based study investigated socioeconomic status (SES) as a moderator of the association between empathic accuracy and well-being among married couples from diverse socioeconomic backgrounds. Empathic accuracy was measured using a performance-based measure of empathic accuracy for one's spouse's negative emotions during a marital conflict conversation. Aspects of well-being included well-being (i.e., positive affect, life sati…

  • Alterations in facial expressions of emotion: Determining the promise of ultrathin slicing approaches and comparing human and automated coding methods in psychosis risk

    Open AccessTina Gupta, Claudia M Haase et al.ARTICLEEmotion2020

    Alterations in facial expressions of emotion are a hallmark of psychopathology and may be present before the onset of mental illness. Technological advances have spurred interest in examining alterations based on "thin slices" of behavior using automated approaches. However, questions remain. First, can alterations be detected in ultrathin slices of behavior? Second, how do automated approaches converge with human coding techniques? The present s…

  • Individual differences in sadness coherence: Associations with dispositional affect and age

    Open AccessDeborah J Wu, Ryan C Svoboda et al.ARTICLEEmotion2020

    The current laboratory-based study examined individual differences in sadness coherence (i.e., coherence between objectively coded sad facial expressions and heart rate in response to a sad film clip) and associations with dispositional affect (i.e., positive and negative affect, extraversion, neuroticism) and age in a sample of younger and older adults. Results showed that (a) greater sadness coherence was associated with lower dispositional neg…

  • Responding to the emotions of others: Age differences in facial expressions and age-specific associations with relational connectedness

    Open AccessSandy J Lwi, Claudia M Haase et al.ARTICLEEmotion2019

    Responding prosocially to the emotion of others may become increasingly important in late life, especially as partners and friends encounter a growing number of losses, challenges, and declines. Facial expressions are important avenues for communicating empathy and concern, and for signaling that help is forthcoming when needed. In a study of young, middle-aged, and older adults, we measured emotional responses (facial expressions, subjective exp…

  • Neuroanatomy of expressive suppression: The role of the insula

    Open AccessLuma Muhtadie, Claudia M Haase et al.ARTICLEEmotion2019

    Expressive suppression is a response-focused regulatory strategy aimed at concealing the outward expression of emotion that is already underway. Expressive suppression requires the integration of interoception, proprioception, and social awareness to guide behavior in alignment with personal and interpersonal goals-all processes known to involve the insular cortex. Frontotemporal dementia (FTD) provides a useful patient model for studying the ins…

  • Age-related changes in emotional behavior: Evidence from a 13-year longitudinal study of long-term married couples

    Open AccessAlice Verstaen, Claudia M Haase et al.ARTICLEEmotion2018

    We examined age-related changes in emotional behavior in a sample of middle-aged and older long-term married couples over a 13-year period. Data were collected at 3 waves, each occurring 5 to 6 years apart. For the present study, only couples who participated in all 3 waves were examined (n = 87). Couples were either in the middle-aged group (40-50 years old, married at least 15 years) or the older group (60-70 years old, married at least 35 year…

  • Socioeconomic status as a moderator of the link between reappraisal and anxiety: Laboratory-based and longitudinal evidence

    Open AccessEmily F Hittner, Katie L Rim et al.ARTICLEEmotion2018

    Cognitive reappraisal reduces anxiety, but we know little about how socioeconomic status (SES) moderates this association. Drawing from developmental, affective, and health psychological frameworks, the present 2 studies investigated SES as a moderator of reappraisal and anxiety using performance-based (Study 1) and self-report (Study 1 and 2) measures of reappraisal; analyzing nonclinical (Study 1) and clinical (Study 2) symptoms of anxiety; and…

  • Depression, emotion regulation, and the demand/withdraw pattern during intimate relationship conflict

    Open AccessSarah R Holley, Claudia M Haase et al.ARTICLEJournal of Social and Personal…2018Cited by: 4References: 68

    The demand/withdraw pattern is a detrimental set of communication behaviors in which one partner nags or pressures while the other partner avoids or withdraws. Past studies evaluating the influence of depression on this pattern have shown mixed findings. The present study sought to advance what is known by investigating whether difficulties in emotion regulation mediated the association between depression and the demand/withdraw pattern. A sample…

  • Insular atrophy and diminished disgust reactivity

    Open AccessAlice Verstaen, Janet A Eckart et al.ARTICLEEmotion2016

    Disgust is an emotion that helps us deal with potential contamination (Rozin & Fallon, 1987). It produces a distinctive facial expression (e.g., wrinkled nose) and a physiological response that is accompanied by strong visceral sensations (e.g., nausea). Given the important role that the anterior insula plays in processing and integrating visceral information (Craig, 2009), it is likely to be centrally involved in disgust. Despite this, few studi…

  • Interpersonal emotional behaviors and physical health: A 20-year longitudinal study of long-term married couples

    Open AccessClaudia M Haase, Sarah R Holley et al.ARTICLEEmotion2016

    Objectively coded interpersonal emotional behaviors that emerged during a 15-min marital conflict interaction predicted the development of physical symptoms in a 20-year longitudinal study of long-term marriages. Dyadic latent growth curve modeling showed that anger behavior predicted increases in cardiovascular symptoms and stonewalling behavior predicted increases in musculoskeletal symptoms. Both associations were found for husbands (although …

  • Positive urgency and emotional reactivity: Evidence for altered responding to positive stimuli

    Sheri L Johnson, Claudia M Haase et al.ARTICLEEmotion2016

    Positive urgency, defined as a tendency to become impulsive during positive affective states, has gained support as a form of impulsivity that is particularly important for understanding psychopathology. Despite this, little is known about the emotional mechanisms and correlates of this form of impulsivity. We hypothesized that positive urgency would be related to greater emotional reactivity in response to a positive film clip. Seventy-five unde…
