Striving to feel good is natural—but can also backfire, with hidden costs for the self, others, and society. Understanding these trade-offs can help us all feel (and do) better. New in Nature Reviews: rdcu.be/exFhU @UofT @UTSC

Politics can be a chronic stressor in people’s daily lives Emotion regulation strategies come with a trade-off between well-being and action. Regulating politically-induced emotions predicts greater well-being, but also weakens motivation to take action. psycnet.apa.org/record/2023-32…

New paper alert with @BrettQFord and Gerald Young! Beliefs about whether emotions are controllable influence how we approach our own emotions, but what about how we approach OTHERS' emotions (especially others who are depressed or distressed)? link.springer.com/article/10.100…
