Research Interests: My primary research areas encompass cross-cultural depression prevention, self-criticism, self-compassion, and the interplay of cultural factors such as collectivism vs. individualism, independence vs. interdependence. My focus also extends to examining self-construals and the role of an inner compass in uncertain situations within the context of cultural adaptation.
Target Population: I'm particularly interested in understanding these dynamics among international students in the Netherlands.
Research Methodologies: I employ a range of research methods including quantitative, qualitative, and experimental approaches to investigate these topics comprehensively.
