Research interests:

I teach social psychology, as well as some applied psychology and methods. My major research interests include: Nonverbal communication in general, decoding of emotional expression (specifically the processing of facial expressions of emotion, decoding skills or deficits in specific populations like hearing-impaired or blind persons), cross-cultural aspects of emotional experience, new methodological developments for stimulus presentation (cf. degrading or morphing procedures), and applied questions, specifically social-psychological aspects of new electronic communication media, and finally some "classical" social psychological topics like prejudice and stereotypes.

Research interests:

My research interests and activities focus on stress and coping generally, and especially on the regulation of anger. For a long time, the efficiency of coping strategies had been the main subject of my research, thereby involving different criteria for evaluating success: well-being, self-presentation, problem-solving, and social functioning. By broadening the person-centered and individualistic perspective that generally dominates psychological research, the social construction of how to cope appropriately has become my main subject of research. In a very recent study social norms for coping with anger and anxiety and the consequences of emotional deviance had been studied. My future research efforts will focus on the process of how coping rules are socially constructed and enforced.

Research interests:

My research area is the experimental social psychology of emotion and health. I have been interested in how people cope, manage, and regulate their emotional experiences in the everyday life. I am exploring the system of individual and collective processes for managing emotional experiences. The several topics that I have been advanced are: the process for varbalizing and inhibiting traumatic and/or emotional experiences, the verbal and non-verbal communication of emotion, the biological and social functions of face and facial expression, the feelings of bodily sensations, the moods swing with menstrual cycle, the social sharing process of emotion, the effect of make-up application on self, emotion, and social interaction, the facial skin temperature and emotion, tthe affective interchange between human and animals, Neurophysiological and sociobiological foundations of emotion. the emotion and culture, and so on.

In addition to push forward with my own projects, I have been affiliated with Dr.James Pennebaker's Research Group.
