Psychologist Jutta Joormann of Northwestern University talks with June Gruber of Yale about her research on depression and emotion regulation. In this interview from Yale's Experts in Emotion series, Joormann traces how she came to study emotion, then spends the bulk of the conversation walking through the central findings of her work, including how people with depression process and regulate emotional information differently than others. She closes by describing what she considers the most promising open questions in the field and offers advice to students interested in pursuing emotion research. The format is conversational rather than a formal lecture, structured around chapters covering her background, her core discoveries, future directions, and career guidance, giving a compact but substantive overview of a working researcher's findings and perspective on depression.
