    Research<\/span><\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n

    There are three themes underlying my research in autobiographical memory and collective memory. First, I explore how different cueing conditions influence the prevalence of direct and generative retrievals. Second, I study how emotion affects well-being via autobiographical memories. Third, I have been working on the relationship between remembering public events and collective well-being.  <\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n
