Career

Claudia Haase studies pathways towards happy and healthy development across the lifespan with a focus on emotions in individuals and couples. Her research combines insights and paradigms from affective, lifespan-developmental and relationship science. Her work uses multiple methods (e.g., autonomic physiology, behavioral observations, subjective emotional experience assessments, linguistic markers, neuroimaging), age-diverse samples (e.g., from adolescence to late life), diverse study designs (e.g., experimental, longitudinal), and single-subjects and dyadic approaches (e.g., in couples, parent-child, and friendship dyads).

Her research has been funded by the National Institute of Mental Health, the National Institute on Aging, the Retirement Research Foundation and a NARSAD Young Investigator Award from the Brain and Behavior Research Foundation.
