  • Research:
    I conduct research on the impact of positive emotions on our perception of others' humanity and moral worth, and investigate psychophysiological markers of social engagement.

    My research interests focus on the ways in which positive emotions affect individuals’ conceptualizations of themselves in relation to others and their environment. I utilize behavioral and psychophysiological measures to investigate the circumstances that cause individuals become open to affiliation and the physical and psychological effects of such openness, a state I describe as “other-focus.”
