RESEARCH INTERESTS
_____________________________________________________________________
Mixed Feelings I am interested in how people experience and deal with mixed
feelings, such as ambivalence, indecision and doubt. I am
particularly interested in how mixed feelings are expressed in
the body and how physical and sensory perceptions play a role
in these experiences. !
!
Emotion Regulation
I (co) supervises multiple PhD students with whom I
investigate the way in which people’s body influences their
emotional experiences (with Lotte Veenstra), how self-control
may cause somatic neglect (with Caroline Schlinkert) and the
buffering effects of belonging for people with low self-esteem
(with Mandy Tjew A Sin).
