WELCOME TO THE POSITIVE EMOTION & PSYCHOPATHOLOGY (PEP) LAB
"The most beautiful thing we can experience is the mysterious. It is the source of all true art and science."
– Albert Einstein
We know that positive emotions motivate us to pursue important goals, savor experiences, counteract the cardiovascular effects of stress, and maintain vital social bonds. However, a relatively untouched question remains — Can positive emotions also be a source of dysfunction in particular degrees, contexts, or when not appropriately managed? Our work seeks to delineate the nature of positive emotion disturbance using the theoretical lens and methodological tools of clinical and affective science in people with and without a history of mood difficulties.
