Lucrezia Lucchi is a Psychology PhD student in the Dynamics of Perception, Cognition, & Action Lab directed by Dr. Nia Amazeen. Drawing on theoretical perspectives from ecological psychology and methodological approaches from complexity science, they hope to contribute to a developing understanding of how individuals, groups, and societies fundamentally make meaning from the environments in which they are embedded. They are interested in the dynamical structures underlying:
- socially-mediated processes of emotion regulation;
- habitual and ritualistic behaviors, enacted beliefs, and longer-term processes of trauma, addiction & recovery;
- the emergence of flow & insight experiences (e.g., aha! state transitions as embodied phenomena) in the contexts of problem-solving, learning, and motor skill development;
- affordances & constraints of artistic performance sports (at the physiological, biomechanical, psychological, and sociocultural levels);
- interactions between stress and chronic pain, especially in a holistic rehabilitative context.
