Congratulations to co-first author @clairelavalley.bsky.social on validating this new performance-based measure of social emotion regulation ability: emotionandpsychopathology.org/journal/arti... In psychopathology, this may be crucial for maintaining social support. We hope others find it useful!

The Final Day of My America Road Trip (a bit late to post 😅) Chic vibes in Oklahoma City and shooting practice in Tulsa. It was a long and tough journey — but I had a great time!

Day 1 of My America Road Trip I decided to drive halfway across the country! Starting in Los Angeles, I’m planning to make it back to Oklahoma in five days. I might post about it along the way! I’ve landed safely in LA. Let’s go!

📢 New publication! We investigated how evaluating one’s own emotions affects brain activity during emotional processing. EEG results showed that self-evaluation may enhance early negative emotional processing, as reflected by changes in frontal alpha asymmetry. Take a look! doi.org/10.1002/brb3...

The Effect of Evaluating Self's Emotions on Frontal Alpha Asymmetry
Frontal alpha asymmetry, a measure of relative frontal brain activity, was significantly lower in the condition in which participants rated their own emotions compared to the condition in which they ....
