Banning #smartphones in over 400 schools led to:
-decreased psychological symptoms among girls by 29%
-decreased bullying by boys and girls by 43%
-increased GPA among girls by .08 SDs
Effects were larger for girls from low SES families openaccess.nhh.no/nhh-xmlui/bi...

Disappointed & "worried" that 3 reviewers & 2 editors of leading journal in the field of child development did not read the statistical approach section & assumed we had typos in reporting pages-long results in an extensive study! The plea for bayesian statistics & sound models fails here! #REJECTED
Summer School on Attachment and Human Development at VU Amsterdam with a great lineup of scholars contributing insights and knowledge for the next generation of scientists and clinicians. Please repost and share within your institutions.
I have a cat phobia! 70% of online meetings involve a cat running on the other side of the screen
& the other person being proud & delighted about their companion. In I need to use full capacity energy to inhibit fear & concentrate! I'm getting huge spiders for my next meetings! Revenge mode on!
To support families, practitioners need a sound and feasible instruments for structured and transparent assessment of parental sensitivity. An important step towards this, is the publication by Mirte Forrer ea on the OK! package 1/x https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/imhj.22102

Looking for a post-doc with interests in relationships among psychological, cognitive, psychophysiological, and immunological health in older adults. Please RT and alert your talented PhD students. Thanks! #postdoc health.oregonstate.edu/directory/su...
I will give a talk on human resilience through the lenses of the attachment theory at the 7th International Conference on Mental Health & Therapy! What is unique about this talk as compared to others is that together with Dr Daniel Sheppard, will bridge empirical findings to therapeutic approaches!

Postdoc opportunity at UCLA! 🧠 See below for info about our training fellowship in the science of child mental health interventions.
Access to the full work: repository.ubn.ru.nl/bitstream/ha.... You will also find me at ICIS24 in Glasgow, discussing findings, applications and methodological considerations on facial EMG in young populations.
Following a computerized task involving peer ostracism, we observed that 5yo securely, but not insecurely attached, employed facial mimicry as a strategy to restore affiliation wth peers. This highlights their adeptness at employing optimal interpersonal strategies in adverse social situations.
Early Attachment & Intrinsic Affiliation Motivation, examined through facial EMG: children's mimicry is influenced by their early attachment styles-> 3yo wth resistant attachment display heightened mimicry of SAD expressions. Interestingly, cognitive control did not influence these responses.
To affiliate or not to affiliate-> check out a set of peer-reviewed studies from my PhD. dissertation on insights into early attachment contribution and underlying cognitive architecture! An illustration of the 4 studies at the basis of this inquiry. Below a glimpse into 2 main findings:

I organized an online symposium on information seeking! Free for anyone to join, next Tuesday at 15.30 (CET), at this link: msteams.link/Y2FZ Let's see if BlueSky already works for advertising... Please repost!
Attended the historic COP28 UN Climate Change Summit in Dubai, focusing on (mental) health amidst escalating natural disasters. Immensely grateful to philanthropists for their unwavering dedication. Our collective responsibility is clear: we must all contribute to the tapestry of humanity's future.
Such a paradox, as also exemplified in "Don't look up" movie!
Great study!Happy to have been trained to preregister. In NL, it's common to publish th data in an (institutional) public repository.Unhappy as EU researcher to attend a heavily American-led & oriented largest conference on child development! SRCD should start to be more international & inclusive!
This shows full image to me! Brilliant work and poster! Thank you:)
It looks like a really great abstract, unfortunately when I open it does not extend, it remains cut!
➡️Intergenerational transfer from mother to the child is reflected in similarity of corticolimbic brain structure & relates to wellbeing!⬅️ Such an important theoretical & methodological endeavour! Would be thrilled to see how this is reflected in the caregiving quality! Congrats to the research team!
