Agnieszka M. Pietraszkiewicz
My research is broadly concerned with emotions and social cognition. My primary interests include emotional reactions to other's lots, such as schadenfreude, resentment, emphatic joy, and sorrow. I am also interested in ways that gender, self-esteem or system justification influences an experience of these emotional reactions.
My other interests are: gender stereotypes and their impact on social perception.
Primary Interests:
- Emotion, Mood, Affect
- Gender Psychology
- Group Processes
- Judgment and Decision Making
- Life Satisfaction, Well-Being
- Social Cognition
