Hello! My name is Kristina, and I am pursuing a Master's degree in Pyschology at Simon Fraser University in Burnaby, Canada. In June 2022, I earned my BA Honours in Applied Psychology at Douglas College, with specializations in Pre-counselling, and Disability in Applied Behaviour Analysis. My research interests generally include subjective happiness, well-being, morality and social connections. My honours thesis focused on the proposal and preliminary scale development of a construct coined as "nuanced perceptions of others' valence" — the readiness to percieve other people as being a mix of good and bad. Currently, under the supervision of Dr. Lara Aknin, my MA research focuses on the act and underlying motives of reaching out to old friends whom people have lost touch with.
