Rena Repetti’s program of research examines the ebb and flow of experiences in our everyday lives, especially interactions with close others, and their cumulative effects on physical and mental health. She attempts to observe social, psychological, and biological processes as they unfold naturally in daily life, in particular how family members connect with and help to regulate each other. Repetti will describe some of her naturalistic research using intensive repeated measures and video recordings to investigate how family members’ stress, emotions, behavior and physiology become interlaced through their everyday interactions.
