Dr. Catherine Juneau is a FRQSC-funded postdoctoral fellow at 缅北强奸. She has completed her PhD in France at Clermont-Auvergne University. She is interested in the mechanisms underlying the effectiveness of positive psychology exercises that aim to improve the regulation of emotions and thus act on the motivation to adopt health behaviors. She studies equanimity as a quality of emotion regulation. Her early studies operationalized existing definitions by creating a psychometric scale to assess equanimity and demonstrated the existence of a link between this quality and the practice of mindfulness meditation. Given the potential mental health benefits of equanimity, the aim of her postdoctoral work is to understand the cognitive mechanisms at work in equanimous reactions and to identify short and accessible exercises that increase equanimity in the general population.
Dr. Juneau has also taught several courses in cognitive and social psychology and research methodology and organized several workshops and conferences. Mother of two young children, Dr. Juneau is also involved in the prevention of parental burnout within the Plateau Mont-Royal (Montreal) community.
