About this position

PhD opportunity at Queen's University Belfast in emotional granularity, child and adolescent psychology, and language development.

This project, titled “Words for Feelings: Exploring the Development of Emotional Granularity in Children and Adolescents,” investigates how children and adolescents learn to differentiate and label emotions with precision, and how emotional vocabulary shapes this skill over time. The research uses a mixed-methods design, combining quantitative experience sampling with qualitative analysis of how young people describe their emotional experiences.

The project is grounded in constructionist approaches to emotion, with a strong focus on the role of language in emotional awareness, emotion regulation, resilience, and well-being. It also explores whether richer emotional vocabulary may help identify sensitive periods for intervention and support educational or clinical approaches to mental health.

Funding: The project is listed as unfunded.

Supervisors: Dr Agnieszka Graham (Queen’s University Belfast) and Dr Sara Lorimer (Ulster University).

Study mode: Full-time for 3 years or part-time for 6 years.

Application: The page provides an Apply Now option and a Register Your Interest option. No deadline is specified on the page.
