Gregory Feldman is a Professor in the Department of Psychology at Simmons University, specializing in clinical and personality psychology with a focus on evidence-based interventions for mental health disorders.

Feldman's research centers on mindfulness-based mechanisms in emotion regulation, demonstrating how mindfulness training reduces distress from negative thoughts while enhancing persistence in challenging situations. His work spans clinical populations and high-stress contexts including studies with college students and Mount Everest climbers, revealing how personality traits influence goal achievement. He has developed key assessment tools like the Cognitive and Affective Mindfulness Scale-Revised (CAMS-R) and measures for mental anticipatory coping.
Current research trajectories examine mindfulness as a screen-time alternative, pandemic-era mental health resilience, and innovative applications like music therapy for chronic pain management in youth. His methodological approach integrates laboratory experiments, psychophysiological monitoring (e.g., heart rate variability), and intensive longitudinal designs.
Feldman actively mentors Simmons undergraduates in research examining how self-care activities—including music listening, smartphone use, and mindfulness meditation—affect emotional, cognitive, and physiological outcomes. His collaborative team publishes regularly in top clinical psychology journals while developing practical interventions for real-world mental health challenges.
