Welcome to the
Culture, Emotion, and Health Laboratory!
Lab Director: William Tsai, Ph.D.
We are based in the Department of Applied Psychology at NYU Steinhardt School of Culture, Education, and Human Development.
The Culture, Emotion and Health Lab studies how people regulate their emotions, cope with stress, and how these processes lead to health and well-being. We focus our research questions on how cultural tendencies and values can shape the development and use of these processes. Our work is interdisciplinary, spanning across social, clinical, and health psychology, and we study both healthy and clinical populations.
