Research interests
My research interests lie in health and well-being in couples and families with a focus on coping with stress and emotion regulation in close relationships. Furthermore, I am excited about positive interpersonal processes unfolding between interaction partners and how these processes contribute to relationship functioning and well-being. Additionally, I aim to understand (changes in) interpersonal processes over time using dyadic longitudinal methods.
