Emotions and Aging Lab
The Stanley Emotions and Aging Lab (SEAL) at the University of Akron aims to advance the understanding of social and emotional development across the lifespan. We use experimental and correlational designs to research age differences in emotional communication, emotion regulation, and social judgments.
