Maine Edge reprints release about Bosma’s smartphone emotion regulation study
The Maine Edge reprinted a University of Maine media release about clinical psychology doctoral student Colin Bosma’s emotion regulation study. He’ll analyze study participants’ digital footprints to assess whether people who struggle to regulate sadness in response to an event — as determined by the questionnaires and electrocardiograph — are less social and less mobile. The Association for Behavioral and Cognitive Therapies Research Facilitation Committee awarded Bosma $1,000 for his study titled, “Do Digital Behaviors Describe Individual Differences in Emotion Regulation? Using Smartphone Data to Characterize Physiological and Subjective Responses to Sadness.”
