Humans are hard-wired to connect with each other, but for some people, the social world is daunting. More than 1 in 10 Americans have Social Anxiety Disorder—a chronic disorder characterized by excessive concern about being scrutinized and rejected by others.
Our research explores the daily situations that worsen social anxiety and the coping strategies that help people navigate an increasingly social world.
Social Anxiety
Coping with Stress
Our daily lives are filled with rich emotional experiences. Emotions can be crippling, catalyzing, and everywhere in between.
Our lab uses smartphone technologies to capture emotions as they unfold in real time. We use this data to identify different patterns of emotions and effective ways of coping with daily stressors.
The term "well-being" is smattered about our modern world. Schools, businesses, universities, coaching programs, and even governments pledge to help people increase well-being. But what exactly is well-being and how can we get more of it?
Our lab drills down into the science to provide data-driven solutions for measuring — and ultimately increasing — well-being.
