    120. Felicia Zerwas on What We Do With Emotions

    Heather Grzych interviews UC Berkeley psychology researcher Felicia Zerwas about the social dynamics of emotion regulation and emotional suppression. Felicia discusses what happens when emotions are expressed and not expressed, clarifying terms like emotional suppression, reappraisal and acceptance. People with greater social power are less likely to control their emotions, and Felicia discusses the measurements used to gauge emotional experiences and their expression. She also discusses the nuances of suppressing positive vs. negative emotions, and what happens when we suppress emotions over time.
