Academic interests
I am a political scientist working in psychology who mainly studies causes and consequences of intergroup conflicts. I am specifically interested in (the development of) political behavior, and attitudes toward different low-status social groups (among others immigrants and ethnic minorities, women, and the queer community). I mainly use structural equation modelling but I am also interested in mixed methods and qualitative research designs.
Project

Background

In my first master I focused on political behavior and attitudes toward immigrants and in the second toward women and the LGBTQIA+ community.
