Research

My main research interest concerns the coping and goal adjustment strategies that people use to handle their chronic disease/medical condition or stressful life events and its relationship with psychological well-being. With these components we develop evidence-based low-demanding and cost-effective self-help intervention programs to improve psychological well-being. We develop both self-help programs in booklet format and online self-help programs (e-health). In addition, I am one of the developers of the Cognitive Emotion Regulation Questionnaire, which can be used to measure people’s cognitive coping strategies.

 

Teaching

Development of several courses (Motivational Interviewing for Medical Doctors; Psychodiagnostics; E-health); Coordination and teaching of various BA and MA courses; MA thesis supervision, PhD student supervision.

 

Management
