Short CV

Suzanne van de Groep is a PhD Candidate in the Brain and Development Research Center, which is part of the unit of Developmental and Educational Psychology of the Institute of Psychology at Leiden University.

Suzanne studied Developmental Psychology (Research) at Leiden University and obtained her master’s degree (cum laude) in 2016. For her master thesis Suzanne was involved in the longitudinal BRAINTIME study. Her thesis focused on the relationship between prosocial behavior and reward sensitivity.

Suzanne joined the Brain and Development Research Center as a research assistant in September 2016. In January 2017, Suzanne started her PhD project on the neural basis of prosocial development in adolescence, supervised by Dr. Kiki Zanolie and Prof. Eveline Crone. For this project she is involved in all stages (i.e., designing, data collection, analyses, writing) of a large, comprehensive study on prosocial behavior in adolescence, called the ‘BrainLinks Project’. Over 150 participants and their parents will participate in this study that will use multiple techniques (i.e., MRI, hormonal data, laboratory tasks, questionnaires, daily diaries, parent reports) to examine the development of prosocial behavior in adolescence. Suzanne studies prosocial development using a multi-dimensional perspective, focusing on several types and targets (e.g. peers) of prosocial behavior, but also on the role of individual differences and social context.
