Staff members with discipline Social Sciences, Quantitative Methods
Academia develops at the interface of different fields. This is one reason why the University of Groningen is home to a wide range of fields, each with a great number of subject specialists. The overview below, which is based on a standard categorization of fields, will help you find the right expert for each field. If you cannot find the expert you are looking for in this list, try searching via a related field or faculty; you may find him or her there.
At the faculty BSS, I am employed on the chair Applied Statistics and Data Visualisation.
My research focuses on the development of statistical models for applications in the social sciences. These models often contain dynamic or longitudinal components. Furthermore, I’m interested in science communication - for which data visualisation plays a key role - and the improvement of scientific practice in general.
Furthermore, I'm Director of Research of the Heymans Institute for Psychological Research.

Broadly speaking, my research focuses on what drives members of advantaged groups to behave anti-socially and pro-socially towards disadvantaged groups, using quantitative methods. In that vein, I am currently researching the motivational and emotional rudiments of 'solidarity-based collective action' as part of my PhD project. My other research interests are collective violence, group-based norms and dissent, which I attempt to implement into political issues.
I conduct my PhD studies under the supervision of Prof Dr Ernestine H. Gordijn, Prof Dr Katherine E. Stroebe & Dr Yasin Koç.

My research is centrally concerned with how social environments (ranging from cultural resources and discourses to everyday social interactions) influence individual development. For example, my PhD research project focuses on how sexual identity construction is influenced by conversation partners, who mediate the influence of cultural conceptions on sexual identity development in the context of everyday interactions. I am also interested in developing methods and theoretical frameworks for understanding how discursive processes can account for the emergence of psychological properties that are commonly understood as latent traits. I have a specific expertise in: dynamic systems theory, thematic analysis, narrative analysis, time series analysis, discourse and conversation analysis, identity construction, queer theory, LGBTQ* psychology, and identity development.

My current research explores how individuals, teams, and organizations effectively share information under high time pressure, uncertainty, and risk of disruptions and crises. Some of the contexts where I have conducted my research are virtual hackathons and critical infrastructure organizations (NWO project 1, project 2). I primarily work with digital communication data and apply social network analysis to understand how information-sharing patterns affect the team and organizational performance and resilience.

My research interests focus on negative workplace situations (e.g., layoffs) and how they shape behaviors, cognitions, and emotions in individuals and interactions between leaders and followers. I have a special interest in examining how positive outcomes can be fostered in the wake of negative experiences, how individuals cope with these stressful events, and identifying as well as curtailing the potential of negative workplace encounters (e.g., identity threats, legitimacy). In a second research stream, I am focusing on applied quantitative research methods (i.e., mediation analysis, scale-anchors) and engage in providing best-practice recommendations to improve research designs (i.e., causality in mediation analyses) and data collection (i.e., equal-distance in scale anchors). In addition, I focus on work-related factors that promote resilience in leaders and how we can successfully measure resilience in the workplace.

My main research theme involves explaining observed data, typically resulting from psychological research, with a meaningful and concise model. This task becomes really challenging when multivariate and/or longitudinal measurements are to be modeled jointly. Specific methods of interests concern the development and evaluation of 1. data reduction modeling (e.g., principal component analysis); 2. latent variable modeling (e.g., exploratory factor analysis); 3. cluster modeling (e.g., mixture analysis); 4. modeling for test construction (e.g., GAMLSS model for test norming).
