Leslie D. Kirby

Director of Undergraduate Studies
Senior Lecturer in Psychology
Research Assistant Professor of Psychology

Dr. Kirby's research program is broadly concerned with emotions and stress. Her background is in appraisal theories of emotion, which focus on antecedents to emotional states, or what causes us to become emotional and under what circumstances. Her work centers on the process of emotions - how does the emotion system work, what are the differences between conscious and non-conscious emotional processing, and what are the consequences of emotions.
