John M. Zelenski is a Professor of Psychology at Carleton University, affiliated with the Faculty of Arts and Social Sciences. His work focuses on emotions, personality traits linked to happiness, and the role of nature in well-being and environmental behavior.
Research interests include:
- Emotional experience and individual differences
- Psychological effects of nature exposure
- Introversion/extraversion and well-being
