Advisor: Lisa Feldman Barrett
Academic Interests: Kristen is a fourth-year student Ph.D. student in the Department of Psychology, working under the advisement of Dr. Lisa Feldman Barrett. Kristen's research focuses on the psychological underpinnings of emotion experience. In particular, this work seeks to understand how people experience discrete emotion states (such as fear, anger, joy, etc.), and how they perceive such discrete emotion states in other people. Implicit in this work is the idea that the language a person speaks (and the emotion concepts it encodes) shapes the emotions that are experienced. This work has broad implications for the relativity of emotion experience-and perhaps the relativity of experience in general-across cultures and individuals.
