Research interests
My main research interests are in the area of developmental psychology and concern the concepts of body image as well as bullying. Specifically, the focus of the research is on 1) the development of body image across adolescence, 2) cross-cultural differences in body image, 3) positive body image, and 4) bullying from the students’ own perspective.
