    Biography

    Training and academic positions: Agneta Fischer graduated in theoretical psychology at Leiden University (cum laude) and obtained her PhD on a dissertation entitled 'Emotion Scripts' at the same University in 1991. Since that year she was employed by the University of Amsterdam at the Department of Social Psychology, where she has held a number of research and teaching positions. From 1998-2003 she held a professorship from the De Beauvoir foundation on Gender and Management. From 2003 onwards she has a Professorship in the department of Social Psychology on Emotions and Affective Processes.

    Administrative positions: From 2001-2005 she was leader of the programgroup of Social Psychology. From 2006-2012 she was chair of the Psychology Department at the UvA. From 2012-2018 she was Director of the Psychology Research Institute at the UvA, and from summer 2018 onwards she is acting dean of the Faculty of Social and Behavioral Sciences of the UvA.

    National activities: She has been chair of the Dutch Association of Social Psychologists (ASPO) from 2012-2018, and has been a member of the board of the Kurt Lewin Institute from 2007-2013, and she has been member of various different NWO committees. 

    International activities: From 2005-2009, she was president of ISRE (International Society of Research on Emotions) and she is co-director of CERE (Consortium of European Emotion Researchers). She was chief-editor of Cognition and Emotion (together with Carien van Reekum) from 2012-2017, and member of the editorial boards of Emotion, Emorion Review, Social Psychology Personality and Science, and the European Review of Social Psychology.

    Current research interests

    The general theme of my research is the influence of social context on emotion, emotion recognition and emotion regulation. Below I describe four lines of research.

    1. Emotional mimicry and contagion. We have shown that emotional mimicry does not occur in all circumstances, but depends on the social context and type of emotion. Together with Ursula Hess, I have proposed a Social Context Model of Emotional Mimicry, in which we argue that in the absence of an affiliative cue or tendency, individuals do not mimic their partners. For that same reason, anger and disgust are less likely to be mimicked, whereas happiness and sadness are most likely to be mimicked. We are currently investigating to what extent people mimic crying, and under what circumstances.


    2. Recognition of emotions. Another line of research focuses on the way in which social cues, like status or gender influence the recognition of emotions. To examine this we have developed a new set of emotional faces in our lab (see the ADFES link). We currently examine whether differences in emotion granularity (being able to differentiate between emotions) influences emotion recognition. We also examine (together with Disa Sauter, and YongQi Cong) Dutch recognition of Chinese emotions and vice versa, looking at a range of different emotions, both spontaneous and posed. Finally, we developped an app (EMORECO, to be downloaded from the App store, or Google Play Store) for mobile phones that can help individuals who want to improve their emotion recognition abilities.

    3. Interpersonal emotion regulation. Together with Disa Sauter and Lisanne Pauw we work on a project on how individuals regulate each other's emotion. We have some recent publications in Cognition and Emotion on this topic (see publications).

    4. Hate, contempt, revenge, humiliation. A fourth line of research is concerned with the social functions of extreme negative emotions, like contempt, and hate. Why do we have them and what are they good for? I just published a review paper on contempt, together with Roger Giner-Sorolla, in Emotion Review. Our PhD student, Liesbeth Mann, just finished a dissertation on humiliation, and Elise Seip completed a PhD thesis on revenge.

    A new project (with Jan Willem Duyvendak) funded by the EU (Horizon 2020, DEMOS) has just started and will investigate the role of negative emotions in the development of populism.
