معرفی
Ethan F Kross is a Professor of Psychology in the College of Literature, Science, and the Arts and Professor of Management and Organizations at the Stephen M Ross School of Business, University of Michigan. He serves as a Faculty Associate at the Research Center for Group Dynamics within the Institute for Social Research. His interdisciplinary work bridges social-personality, clinical, cognitive-neuroscience, and developmental psychology.
Dr. Kross's research centers on emotion regulation mechanisms, particularly how individuals control harmful emotions that interfere with optimal functioning. His methodology integrates controlled experiments with longitudinal daily-life studies across multiple analytical levels: explicit, implicit, autonomic, neural, behavioral, and cultural. This multi-level approach builds comprehensive models of psychological phenomena.
His recent publications demonstrate a strong focus on digital well-being, loneliness cognition, workplace emotional dynamics, and cross-cultural moral reasoning. Key trends include examining social media's mental health impacts, the role of language in online persuasion, and culturally specific moral judgments about close relationships. The work consistently applies emotion regulation frameworks to contemporary social issues.
Dr. Kross's research program emphasizes translational implications, developing practical interventions like cognitive distancing techniques and non-deceptive placebos for pandemic-related distress. His collaborative approach spans departments and institutions, evidenced by co-authorship across psychology, business, linguistics, and health sciences domains.
