Sara Algoe

Sara Algoe received her Ph.D. from the University of Virginia in Social Psychology, and recently completed a post-doc in Health Psychology at UCLA. She studies three aspects of the interplay between emotions and social life: (1) how these basic processes promote enriching opportunities for the self and other, (2) how they build healthy relationships, and (3) the pathways by which they impact health and well-being. Her current projects involve observation and measurement of positive emotional events in the lab and in everyday interactions.
