David Pizarro is a professor in the Department of Psychology at Cornell University in Ithaca, NY. His primary research interest is in how and why humans make moral judgments, such as what makes us think certain actions are wrong or that some people deserve blame or praise for their actions. Professor Pizarro also studies how emotions influence a wide variety of social judgments. These two areas of interest come together in the topic of much of his recent work, which has focused on the emotion of disgust and the role it plays in shaping moral and political judgments. In addition to research, he co-hosts a podcast on the psychology and philosophy of ethics called “Very Bad Wizards.”
Course Overview
You are not a passive recipient of your emotions. In this course, you will explore emotion regulation as a strategy for taking control of your emotions to help you achieve important life goals. You will examine what emotions are automatic, what ones you can control. You will then discuss how emotion regulation affects your day-to-day life, and then consider five major strategies for improving your awareness and regulation of those emotions. You'll identify which strategy you use most frequently, and then practice using a strategy. Finally, you'll explore tactics for influencing the emotions of others, and you'll develop a strategy for regulating your own emotions to achieve important life goals, and how you can influence the emotions of others.
