Susanne Jones's Research Website

I research supportive communication. I am particularly interested in exploring those messages and nonverbal behaviors that support providers can use throughout supportive conversations to help distraught people cope more effectively with upsetting emotions. My work is experimental in nature. I ask people to come to our labs and engage in talk that I record and analyze using quantitative methods and coding procedures. For a complete list of publications, please visit my website.
