She studies how emotional experience is represented in language and how it is reflected in bodily signs and symptoms of emotion. Her current work focuses on questions concerning when, why, and how emotion and emotionality are explicitly labeled in everyday situations, especially in the workplace. She also studies the social context of psychological research, especially the history of the psychology of women and gender, and women's participation in American psychology. Books: Shields, S. A.
