On this edition of the podcast, Professor Jennifer Stellar from the Department of Psychology at the University of Toronto Mississauga discusses her program of research that touches on several areas, including how individuals and social groups thrive. Her lab particularly focuses on the ways in which various positive emotions, such as compassion, awe, empathy, and gratitude, can improve an individual’s physical health, well-being and enhance relationships, as well as encourage morality and prosocial behaviours. A transcribed version of the interview is available here: https://www.utm.utoronto.ca/vp-research/sites/files/vp-research/shared/JS-transcribed%2CSept.2018.pdf.
