Research

Daily Life Lab - We bring the lab into daily life, and daily life into the lab.

In our research, we study emotions, social relationships, and personality traits as close as possible to the real-life phenomenon through
(1) bringing the lab into daily life using smartphones, e.g.,  projects DIPS, CUPID, and ARISE
(2) bringing the daily life into the lab using immersive virtual reality, e.g., projects Med1st-MR, My virtual home, and Digital Lifespan Psychology.
