In case you missed it - here's a little recap of what we did at the end of the SAS 2026 conference! #SAS2026
Words matter 💬 This plenary brought together perspectives on how language shapes emotion regulation, development, & experience—from psychotherapy to childhood to insights from classical India. A powerful reminder of the deep links between words, feelings, and wellbeing. #SAS2026
We're a little late in posting these last bits, but don't forget about the incredible presidential symposium discussing what affective science can learn about affective by also studying plants, animals, and AI! #SAS2026
More awards to recognize!! We want to recognize our best poster and flash talk winners, our winners for best paper of the year, and last but not least all our diversity award winners. Such great work going on at SAS! #sas2026

So long Pittsburgh and @affectscience.bsky.social! Thanks to everyone who joined us at the Clinical Affective Science precon! It was a thrill just to be in a shared space with you all. And congrats to my lab for rocking SAS!⭐️
Had THE BEST time hearing about alllll the exciting developmental affective science happening at @affectscience.bsky.social. Huuuuuuge thanks to @profmorningstar.bsky.social for being an amazing precon co-organizer 🌟
Michele Morningstar@profmorningstar.bsky.social · 7mo agoWow - what a pre-conference! It was a thrill to co-host the first ever Developmental Affective Science pre-conference to the @affectscience.bsky.social conference this week. I was blown away by the group's energy, enthusiasm, and ideas! 🪴
So long @affectscience.bsky.social and thanks for all the new science! Loved connecting with the great @heatherurry.bsky.social and @brethelhaurwitz.bsky.social (we forgot to take a pic! I blame Matt), and arrived home to new books already
What's YOUR favorite part about going to a conference?? Take a look at what this year's attendees had to say! #SAS2026
We’re heading to San Diego for #SAS2027! 🌴☀️ And our new president, Chris Oveis, is already promising us a waterslide at the conference location!
What a great way to end an inspiring conference: the final program point of #SAS2026 - a presidential symposium on Rethinking Emotions: Lessons from Animals, Machines, and Plants, featuring fantastic panelists Kristen Lindquist, Karen Bales, Jonathan Gratch, and Karl Niklas.
Another big thank you to Springer Nature for sponsoring SAS2026! #sas2026
Had a lot of fun at yesterday's keynote symposium re: the ties that bond with Tristen and Jeffrey! Who could have expected to see Keanu Reeves and a pair of socks make an appearance :P Check out both of their work to learn more about how to increase social connection! #SAS2026
@mattsouthward.bsky.social shares how NOT regulating one's emotions is common--mostly when ppl don't feel the need. BUT! It's important to consider the reason behind choices because his team ALSO found diffs in outcomes depending on WHY participants chose not to regulate! @affectscience.bsky.social
Super inspiring work from Yulia, Mark, and Jose in yesterday's diversity symposium discussing how to rethink our approaches to studying cultural context! #SAS2026
How do we best communicate @affectscience.bsky.social?? Jonathan Gratch, Kristen Lindquist, & Karl Niklas advocate seeking out formal communications training. Jonathan Gratch notes in an interview that you don’t have to answer the question asked but use it as a prompt for what you want to say
Wow - what a pre-conference! It was a thrill to co-host the first ever Developmental Affective Science pre-conference to the @affectscience.bsky.social conference this week. I was blown away by the group's energy, enthusiasm, and ideas! 🪴
Luis Flores found that the combination of reappraisal and handholding led to greater reductions in negative affect and negative self-beliefs than either strategy alone @affectscience.bsky.social
