-
Te ‘dik’ om te eten
Dr. K.A. (Klaske) Glashouwer (v), RUG – Klinische Psychologie
Anorexia nervosa patiënten eten te weinig en zijn vaak ontevreden met hun lichaam. Ik onderzoek een nieuwe behandeling voor lichaamsontevredenheid bij mensen met anorexia. Op basis hiervan zal ik testen óf en hóe lichaamsontevredenheid leidt tot voedselrestrictie.

Spreading Fertile Ideas - Social Network Influences on Having Children
Dr. G. (Gert) Stulp (m), RUG - Sociologie
De sterke daling van het geboortecijfer in de 20e eeuw is vermoedelijk mede te verklaren door de invloed van sociale interacties. Het voorstel beoogt langlopende dataverzameling van netwerken en kinderkeuzes in twee populaties met sterk verschillende geboortecijfers. Recent ontwikkelde analysemethoden worden gebruikt om mogelijke netwerkinvloeden op kinderkeuze aan te tonen.
