STEPHANIE BLOM

Research Assistant

After obtaining my Bachelor degree in Social Psychology I started the research master Social and Health Psychology at Utrecht University. During one of the courses I got in contact with Gün Semin as he gave a class on embodied cognition. Finally a topic that I was passionate about and that truly had my interest! From that point on I have been involved in the studies that we conduct at Utrecht University and have also had the chance of doing some studies myself throughout an internship. After finishing my masters, I hope to continue working in this research group as a PHD.

Research Interests:
 

One of my main interests is the embodiment of emotions: exactly how are emotions communicated, understood and felt? And what role does the body –e.g. facial muscular activity- play in this? Another topic of interest  concerns the role of language in psychological processes. A specific subject that I am curious about is the role that language and gesture can have in how people place their memories in time.
