Research and career
editIn 1995, Johnson joined the University of Miami where she taught psychology. Her research aims to identify factors that predict depression and mania.[3][4] Her studies on mania have explored reward sensitivity and goal engagement, demonstrating that both increase in individuals with bipolar disorder.[5] She has also investigated impulsivity and its occurrence during intense emotional states, revealing that emotion-related impulsivity is linked to various pathologies, including aggression and suicide.[6][7] She was appointed Professor of Psychology at the University of California, Berkeley in 2008, promoted to Distinguished Professor in 2021 and Chancellor's Professor in 2022.[citation needed]
Johnson develops novel interventions for people with bipolar disorder.[5] She worked with the Wellcome Trust to investigate the role of healthy lifestyles in bipolar disorder, based on the observation that physical health is a predictor for bipolar outcomes.[8]
