current members Douglas Jozef Angus Graduate Student My research focuses on the time-course of neural activity involved in reward anticipation and consumption, and how these processes are affected by anger and aggression. Nick Levy Graduate Student I study affective responses to expectancy violations using implicit affect measures and electromyography. Evidence of negative responses in this context could elucidate basic motivational processes underlying cognitive dissonance effects. Eric Sun Graduate Student My research interests focus on cognitive dissonance, approach motivation, and self-regulation. I am currently investigating how body posture influences cognitive and social-emotive conflict processing. Kevin Kemkes Graduate Student My research focuses on the relation between positive affects and anger. Specifically, we focus on how the motivational components of these affects might increase or reduce anger and aggressive inclinations. Judy Do Honours Student I am investigating the effects of low and high approach positive affect on anger response.   past members Celeste Chen Honours Student Celeste completed her Honours year with us in 2012.
