Jared McGinley

Research

Dr. McGinley's research primarily involves physiological measures (e.g., cardiovascular, dermal, respiratory, etc.) but also employs behavioral and self-report measures. His main topic of interest is emotion. He is interested in fundamentally (1) defining it, (2) measuring how it is regulated within each person, and (3) understanding how it is communicated between interacting persons. Lastly, Dr. McGinley is interested in the role of heart rate variability in behavioral, affective, and cognitive flexibility/adaptability.
