Research summary
AI-generated

Sean P. Lane studies how people experience and regulate emotions in daily life, and how difficulties with this ('emotion differentiation' and negative affect) relate to problems such as alcohol use, impulsivity, personality disorders, childhood maltreatment, and distress about climate change. Much of the work uses momentary or daily-life tracking methods (sometimes called ecological momentary assessment) alongside experimental and text-analysis approaches. This research is relevant to students interested in emotion science, psychopathology, addiction, and applied statistical methods.
