Emotion dynamics in depression: Some findings from down underPeter KuppensKU Leuven | |
| Abstract: | People’s emotional lives are characterized by ups and downs, changes and fluctuations following the ebb and flow of daily life. Studying the patterns and characteristics of these changes gives researchers insight into the dynamics of emotions and how people regulate them, for better or for worse. In this talk, I will presents findings from research into the emotion dynamics associated with depression that emerged from collaborations during my stay in Melbourne. I will mainly focus on the notion of emotional inertia and how it relates to the emotion dynamics observed in depression, and review available evidence. If time permits, I will also briefly discuss research on emotional reactivity in depression (with a focus on anger), emotional escalation in depression, and future research plans. |
