Anna D. Eisler was born near Bratislava in former Czechoslovakia. In 1968 she came to Stockholm. Educated as an economist, she became employed as a bank clerk. After meeting her future husband, Hannes Eisler, she studied psychology at Stockholm University. The title of her doctoral dissertation (1993) – “Time perception: theoretical considerations and empirical studies of the influence of gender, age, and culture on subjective duration” – describes her earlier research, putting Hannes’ Parallel Clock Model to work as an analytical tool. Later Anna broadened her perspective to crosscultural psychology, spanning the perception of time as well as of risk and ecological conditions, and also highlighting gender differences. Anna and Hannes Eisler formed a strong research team. At Stockholm University Anna taught courses and supervised student papers. A long-standing active member of ISP, a frequent global traveller to conferences and engaged in international collaborations, Anna was a warm, social, generous, and committed person with contagious enthusiasm for research as well as for the wonders of nature and culture.
