Natalia Espinosa CV

Natalia is a 3rd year PhD student in Social Psychology in the Department of Psychology & Neuroscience. Prior to her graduate studies, Natalia received her B.A. in Neuroscience from Duke in 2019. Her research uses methods from neuroscience and psychology to examine how culture influences cognition, emotion, and the self. Natalia hopes to expand the scope of the current literature to examine the unique psychological profile of Latine people and test the broader idea that interdependence, although widely shared across non-WEIRD cultures, has (i) culturally variable features and (ii) psychological consequences.
