Hello! My name is Greg Depow, thank you for dropping by my website.
I am a Postdoctoral Fellow at the University of California San Diego, Rady School of Management, working with Dr. Chris Oveis in the Empathy and Emotion Lab. My research is funded by the Social Sciences Human Research Council of Canada, and the Sanford Institute for Empathy and Compassion at UCSD. I am also working with Dr. Amit Goldenberg in the Digital Emotions Lab at Harvard Business School.
My research focuses on how individuals perceive and engage with the thoughts and emotions of other people, how they make decisions to invest effort for others, and how these and other experiences impact subjective well-being. I am particularly interested in how empathy can be regulated to improve outcomes for the empathizer and the target of empathy. Ihave explored these constructs in different contexts–in lab experiments, within organizations, on social media, and in everyday life. I am broadly interested in closing our aspirational gap of connecting with others and leading happy, meaningful lives.
I received my Ph.D. from the University of Toronto, working with Dr. Michael Inzlicht at the Work and Play Lab. I was a SSHRC Doctoral Fellow, as well as a Rechter Fellow in Positive Leadership at the University of Louisville, Center for Positive Leadership. I served as coordinator of the Social Personality Research Group and Vice President of the Psychology Graduate Student Association. In addition, I worked with Dr. Rachel Ruttan in the Morality Altruism Politics Emotions Lab (MAPEL) based out of the Rotman School of Management. I’ve also done applied research with industry partners such as Potential Project.

Along with my PhD work, I am a husband and father with kids and a baby at home that keep me busy and entertained! When I’m able, I enjoy playing basketball, riding the old skateboard, and firing up some video games.
