Daniel N. McIntosh
Professor, Affect/Social and DCN
I study emotions and coping, using survey, laboratory, and psychophysiological methods and typical and clinical (e.g., people with autism, depression, Williams syndrome) populations to understand phenomena in these domains.
In my coping research, I study how social and cognitive resources influence emotional adjustment, broadly defined. I am particularly interested in responses to traumatic events, uncontrollability, or high levels of stress, and the role of religion.
In my emotions research, I examine basic interpersonal processes in emotion. Specifically, I focus on mimicry, facial feedback, emotion perception processes, and empathy. I examine these processes in typical populations, and evaluate the functional consequences of deficits in such processes by studying atypical populations as well (e.g., people with autism, conduct disorder, Williams syndrome, sensory processing disorder).
I teach graduate and undergraduate courses on social psychology, emotion, and research methods. I am also a departmental advisor for undergraduates. For more information, you can click on the link to my website or the Emotion and Coping Lab website on the right.
