My main research program is understanding how people use positive emotions to regulate their emotions during stress. I examine this topic using a wide variety of methodologies, including survey, experiments, physiology, neuroimaging and from diverse perspectives, including social, personality, biological and cognitive.
I am currently writing a book on this topic that will be published sometime late 2027/early 2028. Meanwhile, I post articles about this topic on my substack (https://christianwaugh.substack.com) and short-form videos on TikTok (@vitabonascience) and YouTube (@vitabonascience).
