Using a combination of neuroimaging, physiological and observational tools, Michalska explores the development of emotional empathy in children at risk for psychopathology, such as children with conduct problems and those with social anxiety.


Kalina Michalska is a professor of psychology and neuroscience at the University of California, Riverside and director of the Kids Interaction and Neuro Development (KIND) Lab. Her work aims at understanding how social and emotional development varies in children and what neurological and environmental factors give rise to such individual differences.
