From a distance: Implications of self-distancing for affect and behavior under stress
This talk will describe a program of research on the emotion regulatory benefits of self-distancing — the process of transcending one’s egocentric point of view in the here-and-now. It will focus on linguistic mechanism that focus present data from multiple levels of analyses (e.g., behavioral neural) using a variety of research designs (i.e., correlational, experimental, longitudinal) that elucidate how and why self-distancing might foster both personal and interpersonal well-being. Implications of the findings for applications (intervention, therapy, training) will be discussed.
The colloquium will be held on zoom. Please contact slagell.2@osu.edu for the zoom link.
