Expertise: Currently, Dr. Kirby’s research focuses primarily on positive emotions, particularly the use of positive emotional experiences as a buffer against stress. She also focuses on broader questions about positive emotions --- are they similar to/different from negative emotional states, do they direct behavior toward specific goals in the way negative emotions do, and what level of differentiation exists amongst positive emotions.
