Emotion-specific verbal fluency relates to the intensity and variety of emotional experiences but not their specificity
Individual differences in the intensity (e.g., emotional reactivity and mean affect), variety (e.g., emodiversity and range of emotions), and specificity (e.g., emotional granularity and alexithymia) of self-reported emotion experiences throughout daily life are important indicators of mental health and well-being. As commonly measured, these constructs reflect differences in how individuals employ emotion concept words to report their feelings. …
Who Can Predict Their Future Feelings? Individual Differences in Affective Forecasting Accuracy
We examine whether the accuracy of people’s predictions about their future emotions is related to the ways they experience their emotions throughout daily life, including individual differences in emotional granularity, emotional complexity, emotional intelligence, and emodiversity. Participants predicted how they would feel while viewing a series of evocative pictures based on descriptions; 1 week later they rated their felt emotion while viewin…
Discount Rates Vary Within Individuals Throughout Daily Life in Conjunction With Momentary Changes in Affect
Temporal discounting rate, the extent to which one values immediate rewards over larger future rewards, is typically considered a trait measure, with higher discount rates associated with increased impulsivity. Given increasing lab-based evidence that discount rates may be sensitive to context, including current affect, we developed a novel approach to measure discount rates in daily life. Participants ( N = 116, N obs = 4,112) completed a 7-day …
Categorization processes in emotion expression recognition
We examined categorical processing biases in the perception and recognition of facial expressions of emotion across two studies. In both studies, participants first learned to discriminate between two ambiguous facial expressions of emotion selected from the middle of a continuous array of blended expressions (i.e., an array created from morphing images of two facial expressions together, with still images selected in equidistant increments). Par…
I can feel it in my bones
Many emotion theories suggest that sensations from the body are a critical piece of emotional experience. Here, we examine how subjective awareness of body sensations is associated with emotional experience throughout daily life using ecological momentary assessment (data collected in 2021). Participants ( N = 161) completed a 7-day protocol where they rated the intensity with which they were currently experiencing 16 different emotions as well a…
Using Self-Identified Gender Identity Data to Advance Health Equity Among Transgender and Gender Diverse Veterans in the Veterans Health Administration
BACKGROUND: Identification of transgender and gender diverse (TGD) people has been limited to diagnoses and text rather than self-identified gender identity (SIGI), representing a subset of TGD people. In 2017, the Veterans Health Administration (VHA) implemented SIGI, allowing for precise identification of TGD veterans, including subgroups (transgender man, transgender woman, and nonbinary). OBJECTIVES: Health conditions, adverse social determin…
Momentary awareness of body sensations is associated with concurrent affective experience
Affect is thought to be a low-dimensional representation of ongoing body activity. Recent studies have demonstrated that individual differences in the ability to objectively detect one's body activity are related to affective experience, particularly the experience of affective arousal. However, less is known about the role of subjective awareness of body sensations in affective experience, a facet of interoception that has been distinguished fro…

Emotion and threat detection
Prior research has demonstrated that angry participants exhibit biased threat detection whereby they are more likely to misidentify neutral objects as guns. Yet, it is unclear whether independent components of anger, such as conceptual knowledge about anger or the affective features of an anger instance, could lead to altered bias alone. Consistent with constructionist theories of emotion, the present set of two experiments demonstrates that thre…
Coordination of Care as Experienced by the Specialist
BACKGROUND: We previously developed 2 complementary surveys to measure coordination of care as experienced by the specialist and the primary care provider (PCP). These Coordination of Specialty Care (CSC) surveys were developed in the Veterans Health Administration (VA), under an integrated organizational umbrella that includes a shared electronic health record (EHR). OBJECTIVE: To develop an augmented version of the CSC-Specialist in the private…
You are what I feel
We present evidence for the affective realism hypothesis, that incidental affect is a key ingredient in an individual's experience of the world. In three studies, we used an interocular suppression technique (continuous flash suppression [CFS]) to present smiling, scowling, or neutral faces suppressed from conscious visual awareness while consciously perceived neutral faces were presented at three different timing intervals: 150 ms before, 150 ms…
Facial expression predictions as drivers of social perception
Emerging perspectives in neuroscience indicate that the brain functions predictively, constantly anticipating sensory input based on past experience. According to these perspectives, prediction signals impact perception, guiding and constraining experience. In a series of six behavioral experiments, we show that predictions about facial expressions drive social perception, deeply influencing how others are evaluated: individuals are judged as mor…
Conscious awareness is necessary for affective faces to influence social judgments
Computationally modeling interpersonal trust
We present a computational model capable of predicting-above human accuracy-the degree of trust a person has toward their novel partner by observing the trust-related nonverbal cues expressed in their social interaction. We summarize our prior work, in which we identify nonverbal cues that signal untrustworthy behavior and also demonstrate the human mind's readiness to interpret those cues to assess the trustworthiness of a social robot. We demon…
