Work with Norman Farb | NotedSource
Norman Farb, PhD, is an Associate Professor of Psychology
at the University of Toronto Mississauga, where he directs
the Regulatory and Affective Dynamics laboratory
(www.radlab.zone). He studies the psychology of
well-being, focusing on mental habits, such as how we
think about ourselves and interpret our emotions. He is
particularly interested in why people differ in their
resilience to stress, depression, and anxiety. Prof.
Farb's work currently explores online training to support
wellbeing, as well as neuroimaging to understand how
emotional reactions predict mental health over the
lifespan.
