Career Since 2008, Kross has been at the University of Michigan, where he is now a professor of psychology and management. He founded the Emotion & Self Control Laboratory at the university and is its director. He studies the science of introspection, "the silent conversations people have with themselves: internal dialogues that powerfully influence how they live their lives." A study by Kross and Philippe Verduyn of Leuven University in Belgium has shown that the more a person uses Facebook, the less satisfied they are with life. Other research by Kross and a colleague found that "the way that we process negative experiences can help reset that behavior." They found that when remembering a past experience, if people use self-distancing techniques—psychologically distancing themselves from a situation that is happening to them—"their stress levels and physical health indicators improved, and they were also better able to solve problems and resolve conflicts." Personal life Kross lives in Ann Arbor, Michigan with his wife and two daughters. Publications Chatter: The Voice in Our Head and How to Harness It. London: Vermilion, 2021. ISBN 978-1785041952.
