Geneva Emotion Research Group

The Geneva Emotion Research Group is part of the Faculty of Psychology and Education Sciences (FAPSE) at the University of Geneva. We conduct research into many aspects of emotions, including experimental studies on emotion-antecedent appraisal, emotion induction, physiological reactions and expression of emotion (facial and vocal) and emotional behaviour in autonomous agents.

A number of applied projects involve the role of emotionality in business and public organisations (e.g. research on emotional climate, human resources, marketing) and in clinical settings (e.g. research on depression, neurological disorders).
