    Research Interests

    My research is conducted within a communications perspective to the understanding of emotion. Hence, there is one major line of research that is targeted at the encoding of emotion in the face and the voice as well as with the relationship of expressive behavior, subjective feeling, and physiological changes with appraisals in a social context. The second line of research is targeted at the perception of facial and vocal expressions of emotion. Following the tenets of social neuroscience, I try to study emotional processes at different levels of organization. Consequently I have used a variety of research paradigms, mostly in the laboratory. In the last decade much of my research involves the use of video games to manipulate appraisals. Currently, I am focusing on automatic processes in emotion

    Research interests:

    As a former executive member of ISRE, I am very interested in the interdisciplinary and especially intercultural exchange in the field of the emotion. My homeground is clinical psychology, especially psychotherapy process research. We have shown that the basic curative factors of psychotherapeutic processes can be found in the interaction between symptomatology, structure of the personality into which the symptoms are imbedded, a specific treatment technique and the specific working allience into which the technque is embedded. The curative power of working allience can be determined through the fitt of the emotion exchanges between therapist`s and patient´s emotional expression in the face, whereby reciproque exchange processes are detrimental whereas complementary ones are benefitial. This more revent reasearch is embedded in a decade long research on dyadic emotion regulation and psychopathology during which we could show , that empathetic healthy layman are unknowlingly drawn in to the specific emotional regulation systems of the patients. The art of psychotherapy consists basicly in not following this preconscious layman`s pattern in the exchange of emotions but instead serving as an emotional container experiencing the emotion and than answering with a specifique treatment technique. Theoretically we think that the emotion system is a parellel distrubuted system with diffrent moduls which can be linked within one person as well as between persons. Our team is running a doctoral graduate college under the titel clinical emotion research. Candidates are finaced up to three years doing their doctoral dissertation in this field . The doctoral degress is either in medicine, psychology . The link to the programm can be found in my homepage.

    Research interests:

    The major goal of my research is to understand basic emotional processes and the role of these processes in psychopathology. Specifically, I have been studying the nature of emotional disturbances in schizophrenia and how these disturbances are linked to the signs and symptoms of the disorder. Because the study of emotion dysfunction is greatly informed by an understanding of normal emotional processes, a major focus of my research has been on understanding the origins and consequences of individual differences in emotion in non-psychiatric individuals.

    Research interests:

    My primary interest is in the way in which feelings arise, and their role in behavior. I believe the evidence strongly supports a neo-Jamesian or self-perception view of feelings, as information about ongoing, automatic patterns of action. Earlier my research mostly tested the critical self-perception hypothesis that people induced to act as if they felt an emotion would report feeling it--they do. One outcome of these studies has been the identification of individual differences in feeling processes. More recently we have been exploring a self-perception approach, and these individual differences, in three arenas: in various emotional difficulties, such as in schizophrenia, depression, Panic disorder, and PMS, in the self-regulation of normal and problematic emotions, and in self-perception processes in non-emotional feelings including confidence, attitudes, feeling of knowing, and heuristic-driven judgements.

    Another spin-off of this research is on differences in the complexity of people's emotional lives. A somewhat separate project began with identifying personality factors which predicted adherence to medical advice. An unexpected finding was that birth outcome measures, like Apgar scores, were predicted by personality measures obtained from mothers in their first trimester. Spiraling back to affect, we are exploring the role of stress in mediating these effects.
