Welcome to the Personality and Emotion Lab!

The Personality and Emotion lab conducts investigations through use of ambulatory assessment, and has primarily investigated externalization behaviors, such as alcohol, cannabis, and nicotine use, as well as the phenomenology of mental disorders, especially mood/anxiety. The laboratory includes interviewing rooms, a room for study participants to complete self-report questionnaires and/or computer-administrated interviews, and a project office. The Personality and Emotion lab utilizes multiple methods of data collection (e.g., mobile apps-TigerAware, online surveys, wearable technology) to examine processes that influence individual behavior.
