“I am a graduate student in Dr. Derek Isaacowitz’s Lifespan Emotional Development lab studying age similarities and differences in emotion regulation. I use eye-tracking, psychophysiology (electrodermal activity), and self-report measures to study emotion regulation and affect in younger, middle-aged, and older adults. I am particularly interested in acceptance as a regulatory strategy, and have studied situation-focused and emotion-focused acceptance across various contexts and in relation to current events. Additionally, my undergraduate background was in cognitive aging, and thus I am continuously interested in how emotions interact with cognitive processes including attention and memory, and how these interactions may evolve across the lifespan.”
