His studies also investigate well-being through gratitude, savoring, and positivity prioritization.

Publications trend toward interdisciplinary applications of psychology, integrating neuroscientific methods (e.g., ERP studies) and behavioral genetics frameworks. Collaborations with Maciej Stolarski and others highlight a focus on temporal dynamics and affective processing.
