BARBARA FREDRICKSON
Barbara L. Fredrickson, Ph.D. is among the most highly cited scholars in psychology, most known for her “broaden-and-build theory of positive emotions,” foundational within Positive Psychology for providing a blueprint for how pleasant emotional states, as fleeting as they are, contribute to resilience, wellbeing, and health. She is Director of the Positive Emotions and Psychophysiology Laboratory (PEP Lab) at UNC-Chapel Hill, Founding Co-Chair of the Association of Positive Emotion Laboratories (APEL), and Immediate Past President of the International Positive Psychology Association (IPPA).And we find that the more people increase their daily experiences of positive emotions, the more they in turn increase feeling connected and attuned and at one with others as they interact in daily life. The more that happens, the more the very rhythms of their heart become more efficient and healthy.
