Research interests: I completed a Bachelor in Psychology (2008), Honoursprogram (2008), and Research master Cognitive and Clinical Neuroscience – Track Psychopathology (2010) at Maastricht University (the Netherlands). Additionally, I obtained my PhD (2017) and completed a 2-year postdoc (2020) at Ghent University (Belgium). In 2013, I also completed a 1-year program on Forensic behavioral sciences. In 2020, I started working as an Associate Professor (tenure-track) at the Norwegian University of Science and Technology. I am also an associate editor at Frontiers - Personality and Social Psychology (specialty section in Psychology). I also work as a lecturer at Utrecht University within the department of Clinical Psychology, where I supervise master thesis students.
Much of my research has focused on how the social context (i.e., parents, mental health care staff, siblings, teachers, prison staff) can foster or thwart individuals’ basic psychological needs for autonomy, competence, and relatedness as stated within the Self-Determination Theory and how this relates to, for instance, individuals’ well-being, motivation, and emotion regulation. I have also examined sources (e.g., psychological needs and parental stress) of parents’ autonomy supportive and psychologically controlling parenting and investigated these parenting dimensions in the context of parent-child reminiscence. Currently, funded by the Researcher Project for Young Talents from the Research Council of Norway, I study the proactive role young adults can play in shaping their positive emotional experiences (i.e., emotion crafting). I examine both antecedents (e.g., emotional intelligence) and outcomes (e.g., positive affect) of emotion crafting, thereby relying on longitudinal data from the Trondheim Early Secure Study (TESS) and cross-national data from Belgium, Peru, and Turkey. Besides emotion crafting, my current research also focuses on, for instance, parental guilt-induction, overprotective parenting, the measurement of emotion regulation, memory detailedness and social support, and well-being during the COVID-19 period.
