Lab Director

Meet the team!

Ana M. DiGiovanni, holds a BA in Psychology from New York University and a PhD in Psychology from Columbia University. Her research lies at the intersection of relationship science and affective science, with an emphasis in advanced quantitative methods. She focuses on how people talk about problems and stressors — both big and small — with others. She has focused extensively on co-rumination within close relationships as one manifestation of problem-focused talk that influences social, affective, and behavioral outcomes. Ana specializes in “life as lived” approaches, and has been particularly interested in examining social support processes, social emotion regulation, and stress as it unfolds in specific contexts. She mentors PhD students in the IO department at MSU.
