The Elizabeth Rutherford Memorial Centre for the Advancement of Research on Emotion (CARE)

CARE commemorates the work of the late Dr. Rutherford, a world leader in research into emotion.
The aim of the Centre is to advance our understanding of emotion by bringing together research in the areas of cognitive psychology, biological psychology, social psychology, developmental psychology, and clinical psychology.

Key objectives and focus areas of the centre include:
​

• Bringing together world leaders in different research areas to establish new innovations in the understanding of emotion.
• Investigating patterns of selective information processing (or cognitive biases) that may underpin mental health problems and resilience, and examining the causal contribution of these biases to anxiety, worry, and adaptive functioning in the face of adversity.
• Evaluating recent developments in cognitive bias modification (CBM) techniques to contribute to the emotional well-being of the Australian community.
