Angela Zhang

Angela received her B.S. in Psychology and B.A. in Biology from the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill. As an undergraduate research assistant, she aided in studies of memory phenomena such as the attentional boost effect and the testing effect. Following graduation, she joined the Developmental and Motivation Research Lab at the University of Pittsburgh where she works to design, build, and test the lab’s many surveys. She is interested in pursuing a Ph.D. in Social Psychology, and her current research interests lie in studying motivation and self-regulation in the context of health behavior and translating this research into interventions that promote positive health behavior change and help people achieve their health-related goals. Outside of work, Angela enjoys watching horror movies and baking.
