Cristina Salvador, assistant professor of Psychology and Neuroscience, has been recognized with an Early Career Award from the Society for Personality and Social Psychology (SPSP).
Each year, in collaboration with SAGE Publications, SPSP offers the SAGE Emerging Scholar Award in order to recognize outstanding achievements by early career PhD scholars in social and personality psychology, including contributions to teaching, research or service to the field.
As a social and cultural psychologist, Salvador’s research examines the influence of culture at multiple levels, including the brain, everyday language usage, implicit measures and big data. Recent research from Salvador challenges the east-west binary — the tendency in cultural psychology research to focus primarily on comparisons between East Asians and European Americans.
As an Early Career awardee, Salvador is recognized for her research contributions and commitment to personality and social psychology. The award will be formally presented at the Annual SPSP Convention in February 2025.
