Emotional Development across the Lifespan

Linda A. Camras, PhD, is Professor Emerita at DePaul University, where she taught both graduate and undergraduate courses on developmental psychology and social and emotional development. In 2021, she was appointed Co-Editor in Chief of the journal Affective Science. She has served as Associate Editor for both Emotion Review and Cognition and Emotion. Dr. Camras’s research has focused on the development of emotional expression in infants and children from both Western and Asian cultures. Her work has contributed to the recent revival of interest in constructivist approaches to emotion and emotional development. More recently, she has investigated how American and Chinese children’s perceptions of their parents’ behaviors affect their emotional well-being.
