Yuri-Grace Ohashi Harvard University NSF Project: Investigating the influence of stressor controllability on emotion regulation strategy use and effectiveness during adolescence Yuri-Grace is an incoming Clinical Science PhD student at Harvard University. She will be working jointly with Drs. Matthew Nock and Katie McLaughlin to explore how social and affective factors influence stress susceptibility to confer risk and resilience for psychopathology during adolescence. More specifically, she aims to investigate how contextual factors like stressor chronicity and controllability influence the way individuals engage in regulatory affective processing, and how subsequent within-person changes in cognition inform mental health outcomes including depression and suicidality. Outside of research, Yuri-Grace enjoys dancing, cooking, painting, and exploring outdoors!
