Her graduate work was conducted under the advisement of John A. Bargh, Ph.D., and Ezequiel Morsella, Ph.D., as a member of what was then the newly founded Automaticity in Cognition Motivation and Evaluation Laboratory (featured in the book Before You Know It: The Unconscious Reasons We Do What We Do). After completion of the doctorate, Larson held several faculty positions within Psychology Departments in New York, Vermont, and Florida, teaching topics in cognitive psychology, social psychology, and organizational psychology. While living in Florida, she began post-doctoral work the field of marketing at the University of Florida’s Warrington College of Business Administration, and took a position with the Parker College of Business in 2011.

This interest has led to research projects on consumer mood states, design fluency, and the influence of activated mindsets, among other topics. Her work has been published in a variety of academic journals, and has been featured in The Wall Street Journal.
