Florence Winger Bagley (January 7, 1874 – 1952) was a 20th-century American psychologist.[1] Bagley's work focused on the research of Fechner's color rings and color aesthetics.[2] She was listed in the first biographical compilation of American scientists.[3]
Florence Bagley was born in Clay Lick, Pennsylvania. She was the daughter of Margaret (née Irwin) and Joseph W Winger.[2][4] Bagley studied at the University of Nebraska and received her A.B. degree in 1895 and A.M. degree in 1898.[2] She then moved to Cornell University in 1898, again as a Fellow in Psychology, holding the Susan Linn Sage Fellowship in Philosophy and Ethics. She completed her doctoral research in 1901 but did not complete writing her dissertation.[1][5] However, her work was published under the guidance of her supervisor, Edward B. Titchener.[6] She was recognized with membership in Sigma XI from Cornell and was a member of Kappa Kappa Gamma.[4]
