Course Description

In this lecture, we will do a deep-dive into the complex and nuanced topic of emotions - both the experience and regulation of them. More specifically, we will seek to answer the following four questions: 1) Definition: What are emotions? 2) Function: What is their purpose? 3) Context: When are they adaptive? 4) Emotion Regulation: What can you do to change them?

Instructor

Dr. Meaghan Barlow is an Assistant Professor in the Department of Psychology, and director of the Self-regulation, Emotion, and Aging (SEA) Lab at Wilfrid Laurier University. Her research interests are broad, spanning lifespan, social, personality, and health psychology. Her research includes explorations of: 1) age-related structures, functions, and consequences of emotional experiences. 2) motivational factors that protect older adults’ well-being and health well into advanced old age, 3) the experiences, beliefs, and definitions of well-being across the adult lifespan, and 4) community-based social interventions.
