Kristen Lindquist, Ph.D., is a Professor in the Department of Psychology and Neuroscience at the University of North Carolina, Chapel Hill where she directs the Carolina Affective Science Lab and the Social Psychology graduate program. She is additionally a faculty member in the Developmental Psychology graduate program and the Human Neuroimaging Group in the Department of Psychology and Neuroscience and the Biomedical Research Imaging Center and the Neurobiology Curriculum in the School of Medicine.

To address questions about the nature of emotion, her research employs tools from social psychology, cognitive psychology, psychophysiology, neuroscience, linguistics, and cultural evolution. Her work is funded by the National Science Foundation, National Institutes of Health, and private foundations. Kristen received her B.A. in Psychology and English from Boston College in 2004, her Ph.D. in Psychology from Boston College in 2010, and she was a Harvard University Mind/Brain/Behavior Initiative postdoctoral fellow from 2010-2012, during which she was affiliated with the Department of Psychology at Harvard University, the Department of Neurology at Harvard Medical School, and the Martinos Center for Biomedical Imaging at the Massachusetts General Hospital. She is the recipient of multiple honors including being named a "Rising Star in Psychological Science" by the Association for Psychological Science, a Fellow of the Society for Experimental Social Psychology, and a Fellow of the Association for Psychological Science. She has received multiple awards for both teaching and mentorship, including the Provost’s Johnstone Excellence in Teaching Award. In 2023, she was voted President-Elect of the Society for Affective Science. When not doing science, Kristen can be found playing with her two young kids, reading fiction, gardening, and being outdoors.
