Zhimeng is a fourth-year graduate student in the Social Psychology area at Yale. She obtained a BA with double majors in Psychology and Comparative Literature from Cornell University. Before joining ASCL, she worked at the Affect & Cognition Lab with Dr. Adam Anderson on projects exploring the neurological underpinning of affective and cognitive judgment of affect valence. Zhimeng is interested in how people make inferences about the emotional and mental state of themselves and others, and how factors such as language and culture may impact these processes. Outside of the lab, she’s an avid reader, an amateur writer, and a constantly-in-starter-mode language learner.
