Emotions and Dynamic Systems (EDS) Lab

Sy-Miin Chow is an Assistant Professor in the Quantitative Psychology Program of the L.L. Thurstone Psychometric Laboratory at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill and the Principal Investigator of the Emotions and Dynamic Systems Lab. Dr. Chow’s research focuses on the development and adaptation of modeling and analysis tools that are suited to evaluating linear and nonlinear dynamical systems models, including longitudinal structural equation models and state-space modeling techniques. Her current work involves using Kalman filter approaches and dynamical systems models to represent the dynamics of emotion regulation. Her longer term aim is to develop a broader repertoire of data-driven tools tailored toward analyzing the kinds of longitudinal data typically available in the social and behavioral sciences.
