Dr Tamlin Conner’s research on emotional and physical well-being is distinguished by the use of mobile technology to measure people’s experiences in real-time in the context of daily life. This app
roach allows her to investigate the psychological, cognitive, and genetic factors that influence people’s real-time emotional signatures, as well as the interplay between emotional and physical health. She maintains several interdisciplinary collaborations and is currently directing a project combining genetic analysis with mobile technology to reveal genetic contributions to daily emotional experience.
She is the co‐editor of the Handbook of Research Methods for Studying Daily Life (2012) and an executive committee member of the Society for Ambulatory Assessment. She regularly reviews software for conducting experience sampling studies on mobile phones.
