“Making a decision about next steps is hard. I suggest students should really think about what makes them the happiest in life, and pursue next steps based on that.<\/strong>“<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<\/div>\n\n\n

Brief description of what I do!<\/strong><\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n

My research focuses on how solitude can promote well-being. In particular, I study how motivations for solitude, personality traits, and environmental context (e.g., spending time in nature) can promote different aspects of hedonic and eudaimonic well-being.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What inspired your career path after graduation?<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n

I love learning and enjoy conducting research!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

How did your experience in the psychology program shape your journey?<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n

The psychology program at Carleton was so good that I refused to leave! Throughout my journey I have learned so much, and each day I continue to learn more and more.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What skills or experiences were most valuable after graduation?<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n

Interpersonal skills and making connections<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Are there specific Psychology courses, professors, or experiences that stood out during your time at Carleton?<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n

This is a hard question because there are so many amazing psychology professors. I switched into the psychology program (from art history) because of how amazing Chris Motz<\/a>‘s classes were. My supervisor Dr. Robert Coplan<\/a> is an amazing mentor and has made my Ph.D. an INCREDIBLE experience. I have also enjoyed working with Dr. Joanna Pozzulo<\/a>, and couldn’t have gotten to where I am today without her. Dr. Chad Danyluck<\/a> was also an amazing TA mentor and taught me so much. I have immense gratitude and appreciation for all of these individuals.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What has been a highlight or proud moment in your career so far?<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n

TA’ing the social psychology course was a huge highlight of my career. I loved working one on one with the students and watching them grow academically over the course of a school-year. I also really enjoyed travelling to international conferences (e.g., Korea, Portugal, Washington!) to present my research.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":328,"featured_media":45308,"template":"","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"cu_people_first_name":"Anna ","cu_people_last_name":"Stone","cu_people_initials":"AS","footnotes":"","_links_to":"","_links_to_target":""},"cu_people_type":[55],"cu_people_expertise":[],"class_list":["post-45555","cu_people","type-cu_people","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","cu_people_type-alumni-profiles"],"acf":{"cu_people_job_title":"","cu_people_degree":"M.A with Specialization in Mental Health & Well-Being (2023), B.A. with Concentration in Health Psychology + Specialization in Mental Health & Well-Being (2021)","cu_building":"","cu_people_office_num":"","cu_people_pronoun":"","cu_people_designation":"","cu_people_email":"","cu_people_phone":"","cu_people_phone_ext":"","cu_people_linkedin":"","cu_people_bluesky":"","cu_people_twitter":"","cu_people_instagram":"","cu_people_facebook":"","cu_people_website":"","cu_people_orcid":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/carleton.ca\/psychology\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/cu_people\/45555","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/carleton.ca\/psychology\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/cu_people"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/carleton.ca\/psychology\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/cu_people"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/carleton.ca\/psychology\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/328"}],"version-history":[{"count":3,"href":"https:\/\/carleton.ca\/psychology\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/cu_people\/45555\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":45803,"href":"https:\/\/carleton.ca\/psychology\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/cu_people\/45555\/revisions\/45803"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/carleton.ca\/psychology\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/45308"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/carleton.ca\/psychology\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=45555"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"cu_people_type","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/carleton.ca\/psychology\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/cu_people_type?post=45555"},{"taxonomy":"cu_people_expertise","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/carleton.ca\/psychology\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/cu_people_expertise?post=45555"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
