Symptom-specific links between internalizing problems and functional connectivity in adolescents: a network analysis - European Child & Adolescent Psychiatry Previous fMRI studies have documented links between internalizing problems in youth and brain functional connectivity of the default (DN), frontoparietal (FP), and salience (SA) networks. Characterize...

Very excited to share that our paper “Symptom-specific links between internalizing problems and functional connectivity in adolescents: a network analysis” has been published in European Child & Adolescence Psychiatry doi.org/10.1007/s007...

First paper of my dissertation now out in EJPR with @bnbakker.bsky.social & @gijsschumacher.bsky.social

Can we measure affective polarization in systems with 6, 10, or even more parties without overburdening respondents or compromising validity? We show how.

Main figure of the paper: Associations between parental mental health (anxiety and depression, alcohol problematic use, ADHD, eating disorder) with children's tests scores in mathematics, reading comprehension and English as second language at age 10.

New preprint!

We find no evidence that parental mental health influences children's academic achievement when comparing families in the Norwegian MoBa study.

(8/8) Big thanks to Rui Sun for her fantastic guidance on this project!

(7/8) This could indicate that gratitude feelings might not protect wellbeing as much in collectively stressful or resource-scarce contexts. These results stress the need for culturally and contextually sensitive wellbeing interventions, and for expanding strategies beyond gratitude.

(6/8) These findings demonstrate that individuals’ wellbeing is closely tied to their feelings of gratitude, regardless of their age, gender, SES, or education attainment, but specifically those from richer, more individualistic countries and for those living in absence of collective stress.

(5/8) Considering cultural factors, we found that wellbeing was less tied to feeling grateful in countries that were higher in collectivism, discrimination between “us” and “them”, holistic thought, responsibilism, and power distance.

(4/8) We found a weaker link between gratitude and wellbeing in stressful contexts (i.e., pandemic and in countries with lower national income, urban population, integration policy scores, democracy index scores, and average age, SES, education attainment, and life expectancy.

(3/8) Using cross-sectional and daily diary data, we show that wellbeing is closely tied to gratitude experiences, with no meaningful universal moderation effects of age, gender, subjective SES, or education attainment. However, not everyone benefits equally: context and culture mattered a lot.

(2/8) Gratitude practices are often promoted during crises (e.g., COVID or more recently, political uncertainty), but past research is constrained by limited cultural diversity, small sample sizes, and mixed results and has primarily focused on personal stress rather than collective challenges.

New preprint out on the link between gratitude and wellbeing: who benefits most and under what circumstances?

Across four studies with 220,314 individuals from 67 countries, we investigated whether individual, contextual, or cultural differences moderated this relationship.

We have a new preprint out examining how different types of childhood maltreatment experiences and genetic liability predict (main and interaction effects) five different eating disorder diagnostic outcomes in up to 63,989 individuals:

Such cool and valueable work!

The first preprint from my PhD is out: osf.io/preprints/ps...! 🥳

We explored the temporal dynamics of four careless responding indicators (response time, within-beep standard deviation, an inconsistency index, occasion-person correlation) in ESM data across different samples.

Loved @MatthewIasiello's talk at #SPSP2025 on a taxonomy and item banks for positive mental health! As a wellbeing researcher who often feels lost in the sea of measures, their umbrella review is a very welcome guide of this jungle of a field: doi.org/10.5502/ijw....

Attending #SPSP2025? I’ll be presenting my work on emotion-wellbeing relationships: [105] Disentangling Gratitude & Love: A network analysis of their unique links to wellbeing & cultural differences. Come say hi! :) @theloveconsortium.bsky.social @spspnews.bsky.social

It was such a highlight seeing so many of my brilliant colleagues present their research at PROMENTA’s conference on mental health the other week. A few sneak peeks here, check out www.sv.uio.no/promenta/eng... and www.hf.uio.no/ifikk/englis... to learn more about what we do!

Such cool work! Congrats!!

I'm thrilled to share this work from my time at @ox.ac.uk (Department of Psychiatry), in which we investigate temporal and contemporaneous within-person associations between adolescent mental health difficulties and various aspects of the family environment 🧵

Multiple social factors are associated with wellbeing when accounting for shared genetic and environmental confounding - Quality of Life Research Purpose Social factors are associated with mental health and wellbeing. However, few studies have examined genetic and environmental influences on social factors themselves, limiting current understan...

☀️🤝 In this new paper, we find that associations between diverse social factors (from relationship satisfaction to loneliness to attachment) and wellbeing are robust to unmeasured shared confounding cross-sectionally and across six years in older adults

Thanks for creating this! I study positive emotions and wellbeing, would be happy to be added! Thanks!

New article in Journal of Social Policy with the amazing @annanhelgoy.bsky.social.

We ask: What explains preferences for different types of family policy?

We find: Justice perceptions on the division of physical, but not mental, household labour do!

great list, thank you!! Would love to be included as well :)
