I am interested in the interactions between cognitions and emotions, including: 1) how thoughts and emotions influence judgments about the likelihood of future events and judgments about emotional reactions to those events, 2) how thoughts before entering a situation influence emotional and behavioral reactions and 3) the implications of forecasts for health, memory and success.
