About me
My name is Kate Petrova. I am a Ph.D. student in Psychology at Stanford University. I study how people think about and regulate emotions in themselves and others.
My work focuses on lay beliefs about emotions and the roles such beliefs play in emotion regulaiton. My other line of work focuses on interpersonal emotion regulation.
My other interests include emotional response system coherence, the role of causal reasoning in emotion regulation, and the development of regulatory processes across the adult lifespan.
I use a combination of intensive longitudinal methods, behavioral experiments, physiology, and computational modeling to explore these topics
