Susan Kay Nolen-Hoeksema (May 22, 1959 – January 2, 2013)[1][2] was an American professor of psychology at Yale University. Her research explored how mood regulation strategies could correlate to a person's vulnerability to depression, with special focus on a depression-related construct she called rumination as well as gender differences.[3][4][5]
