Research Description
Robert Levenson's research program is in the area of human emotion, studying the organization of physiological, behavioral and subjective systems; the ways that these systems are impacted by neuropathology, normal aging, and culture; the role that emotions play in the maintenance and disruption of committed relationships; and the impact of providing care for a person with dementia on the health of familial caregivers.
