Early life and education
Kring was an undergraduate student at Ball State University in Indiana, where she studied psychology.[1] She moved to the Stony Brook University for graduate research, focusing on clinical psychology.[1] Kring considered the relationship between emotional expression and autonomic arousal in people with schizophrenia.[2] Whilst completing her graduate studies she worked at the Bellevue Hospital.[citation needed]
Research and career
In 1991, Kring was appointed an assistant professor at Vanderbilt University. She spent eight years at Vanderbilt, eventually becoming associate professor,[citation needed] before joining the University of California, Berkeley in 1999. Kring serves as Director of the Emotion & Social Interaction (ESI) Laboratory at the University of California, Berkeley. Her research considers how affective processes change in people with psychological disorders.[3] In particular, Kring investigates how people with schizophrenia[4][5] have anhedonia.[6][7] Anhedonia describes the diminished capacity of people to experience pleasure.[6]
Kring is part of the Healthy Brains Project, a long-term study that looks to identify predictors of neural outcomes.[8]
