About me

My name is Kate Petrova. I am a Ph.D. candidate in Psychology at Stanford University. I study how people think about and regulate emotions in themselves and others. 

In my work I use a combination of intensive longitudinal methods, behavioral experiments, and computational modeling to explore how people use their emotions as sources of information in decision-making.

My other line of work focuses on interpersonal emotion regulation. Specifically, I am interested in understanding how people combine multiple emotion regulation strategies to influence each other's emotions.
