Broadly speaking, research in my lab examines how emotion, motivation, and self-regulation influence attention, decision-making, and behaviour, and how people adaptively respond to the opportunities and challenges they encounter in everyday life.

We study questions such as:

• What captures people's attention? Do people see what they want to see, need to see, or fear?
• How do people identify the people, opportunities, and information that help them achieve their goals? What helps or hinders the recognition of effective means of goal pursuit?
• How do people recognise and resolve conflicts between their many goals, motives, and desires?
• How do emotions shape people's priorities, decisions, and behaviour, and when and how do people regulate them effectively?

We apply these questions to self-regulation and well-being, healthy and sustainable eating, consumer decision-making, and prosocial and ethical behaviour.
