Deborah Qu is a graduate student in the Social and Personality Psychology program at UC Berkeley. Her research focuses broadly on emotions and emotion regulation, explored through multiple lenses. Her research investigates the automatization of cognitive change strategies, the role of psychological distancing in emotion regulation, and how individual traits like Agreeableness interact with situational factors to shape emotional responses. Deborah also studies bicultural experiences among American immigrants, such as the way Chinese Americans regulate their emotions when shifting between cultural frames in response to environmental cues. She primarily works with Dr. Oliver P. John and Dr. Özlem Ayduk.
