Kristen Lindquist

Kristen A. Lindquist is a psychologist and affective neuroscientist whose research focuses on language, emotions, and culture. Lindquist is known for her work on emotion words, suggesting that when speakers of different languages talk about common emotions like ''love'', they may not mean the same thing. Her findings run counter to the view that there are universal emotions that are experienced the same across cultures. Lindquist is Associate Professor of Psychology and Neuroscience and Director of Carolina Affective Science Lab at the University of North Carolina, Chapel Hill.

Lindquist received the Rising Star Award from the Association for Psychological Science in 2013 and is a Fellow of the Society of Experimental Social Psychology. Provided by Wikipedia
