HS-24-110 Using heart rate measurement to understand emotion regulation
Every day, we adjust our behavior and emotion according to the changing environment demands. Combining self-report and psychophysiological measurements can help us better understand emotion regulation.
You are invited to participate in a study, being conducted under the direction of Dr. Lin Fang at NMU, using heart rate measurement to understand emotion regulation process.
The investigation includes several questionnaires and two behavioral tasks, all completed on a computer. Participation is expected to last up to 1.5 hours. The risks associated with this study are expected to be minimal and participants can get extra credit after participating in the study.
To be eligible for participation, you must be 18 years old or older and have normal or corrected-to-normal vision.
