Dr Tornquist's research centers on self-regulation mechanisms and emotion regulation strategies, investigating how individuals manage thoughts, feelings, and actions to achieve goals. Her work examines the translation of emotion management into improved goal attainment and physical/mental wellbeing through multi-method approaches. She specifically explores beliefs about emotions in self-control performance, brief intervention impacts on health outcomes, and protective factors like nature exposure across diverse populations. This research bridges experimental psychology with real-world applications in health and clinical contexts.
Analysis of her 2023-2025 publications reveals consistent focus on emotion regulation's role in self-control and wellbeing. Key trends include experimental studies on emotional reappraisal, mood-state effects on cognitive tasks, and pandemic-era interventions for affect regulation. Her work spans social psychology, health psychology, and cognitive science, with increasing emphasis on practical applications for mental health and professional development.
