Jennifer S. Cheavens studies emotional processes and well-being, with a focus on borderline personality disorder, emotion regulation (including how people manage emotions with the help of others), and hope as a psychological resource for coping with serious illness like cancer. Her work spans basic research on personality pathology and social/emotional functioning as well as applied intervention studies, such as hope-based therapies for cancer patients and dialectical behavior therapy (DBT) outcomes. This research combines clinical psychology methods with statistical approaches to track how emotions and coping strategies change over time.
