CURRENT PROJECTS

CROSS CULTURAL RESEARCH

Currently, we are working on a qualitative study to investigate whether and how culture has an impact on mentalization, and, in particular, how cultural values and beliefs influence our understanding of emotions.  

WILDERNESS PROGRAM research

A quantitative study investigating the efficacy of wilderness therapy is utilizing a brief version of the Mentalized Affectivity Scale in order to understand changes in mentalized affectivity over the course of treatment.
