Description
Emotion is a powerful psychological state that can determine how we engage in human interactions, and how we manage our affect is a crucial piece to being successful in the social world. Here, I will discuss recent studies that aimed to uncover the neurocognitive mechanisms of socioemotional information processing using movie-watching neuroimaging techniques. Additionally, I will introduce a series of neuroimaging experiments conducted in our lab that aimed to explain socioemotional traits such as grit, regulatory focus tendencies, and happiness from an affective neuroscience perspective, and discuss their implications for mental health.
