Stanford psychologist James Gross discusses his research on emotion regulation in this interview from Yale's Experts in Emotion series, directed by June Gruber. Gross explains what drew him to the study of emotion, then walks through the central discoveries of his research program, which examines how people monitor, evaluate, and modify their emotional responses. He addresses where the field is headed next and closes with practical advice for students interested in studying emotion. The format is a straightforward sit-down interview divided into chapters covering his background, core findings, future directions, and advice, running about twenty three minutes. It is aimed at students and teachers looking for a firsthand account of how a leading researcher thinks about his own field rather than a formal classroom lecture.
