Work/Research

Haase studies pathways toward 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). Specific areas of focus include:

  • Relationships between parents and children, friends, romantic partners and married couples
  • Emotion across the lifespan and aging
  • Emotion regulation, coping and motivation
  • Happiness and mental and physical health
  • Autonomic nervous system
  • Facial expressions of emotion and nonverbal behavior
