Marcel Zeelenberg
I am interested in the relation between emotion and behavior. That is, I have been studying how emotions, anticipated or experienced, may influence out behavioral choices and how these behaviors and their outcomes may result in the experience or regulation of emotions.

I am currently studying how a focus on specific emotions may teach us more about the behavioral impact of emotions than a focus on the mere valence of affective events. In order to understand these issues better I have been researching counterfactual thinking, appraisal processes, and behavioral decision making. Also I am interested in how specifc emotions influence economic and consumer behaviors.
