OverviewAI-generated summary

Jennifer C. Veilleux's research investigates psychological processes related to emotional regulation, distress tolerance, and self-control. Her work examines how individuals experience and manage distress, exploring factors that influence their choices to engage with or avoid difficult emotions. Veilleux has published on the concept of momentary distress tolerance, defining it as a theory that helps understand contextually situated choices. Her research also delves into perceived invalidation of emotion, finding it to be a unique predictor of affective distress and interpersonal factors in emotional experience.

Veilleux's federally funded research, supported by a $429,725 grant from the NIH/National Institute of Mental Health, specifically targets components of distress tolerance. Her publications have explored the severity of personality dysfunction and its relationship to affect and self-efficacy in daily life, as well as the role of negative affect and justification in self-control failure. She has also focused on developing valid and feasible measures for assessing sexual consent using experience sampling methodology, investigating the within-person variability of internal and external consent.

Veilleux is a highly cited researcher with a substantial publication record, including 143 total publications and over 2,600 citations, reflected in her h-index of 26. She collaborates with several researchers at the University of Arkansas at Fayetteville, including Regina E. Schreiber, Katherine Hyde Brott, and Jeremy B. Clift, with whom she shares numerous publications. Veilleux maintains an active laboratory website to disseminate her research.
