Our Research Focus
The focus of research for the Emotional Development Laboratory is on emotion and motivational processes and how they regulate development.
Dr. Karen Caplovitz Barrett – Director
We are particularly interested in how both personal and interpersonal processes contribute to regulation and dysregulation of emotions and motivation and how to intervene to promote positive and effective regulation.
The Emotional Development Laboratory is housed in the Department of Human Development and Family Studies in the College of Health and Human Sciences at Colorado State University.
