📢 New Publication Alert at JoPaCS! Many studies use variability as a proxy for flexibility across domains. Using emotion regulation as an example, we show that variability decoupled from context can be harmful volatility. Variability ≠ Flexibility. 🧵 doi.org/10.1037/abn0...
This has broader implications beyond ER for how we study flexibility in behavior, cognition, and physiology. Using variability as a stand-in for flexibility can be misleading if context isn't modeled simultaneously. Context is the 🔑
Most research on emotion regulation (ER) flexibility doesn't directly measure context. It just assumes that variability in ER strategies reflects flexibility. But is that actually true?
It was such a joy to present alongside these folks at APS! I am beyond impressed by the work my early career peers are producing. 🤩 See below for a very brief sneak peak of my talk!
