- I am an associate professor with a special interest in social and cognitive aspects of Human-AI interactions. I am co-directing the GoalLab with Ruud Custers
Members
- I am a professor in Psychology, interested in human habits, goals, and autonomy. I am involved in several projects studying basic and applied questions, such as intentionality, Human-AI interactions and health
- I am a PhD candidate and investigate the cognitive and behavioural factors that influence reading in a digital age as part of the LeesEvolutie (https://leesevolutie.nl/) consortium
- I am an associate professor, working on goal-directed behaviour, habits, and the role of consciousness. I am involved in various projects exploring these issues in relation to AI and fear-learning. I am co-directing the GoalLab with Baptist Liefooghe
- Assistant professor in psychology, exploring leadership, decision-making, and human-AI interaction. Passionate about bridging research and practice to foster insight, integrity, and impact
- I’m an associate professor in social and health psychology. My research focuses on how emotions influence behaviour, self-regulation, and long-term goals, with applications in behaviour change
- I am a lecturer in (social) psychology, interested in how we humans establish and maintain social connections, and more specifically in the role of synchrony therein
- I am an assistant professor and interested in decision-making and especially decisions by experience. My research focusses on why false beliefs (e.g., stereotypes) can be so persistent
- I am an Assistant Professor at SHOP with research interests in decision-making, self-representation, and social comparison. My current work focuses on the social-cognitive structure of the decision-making self and promoting healthier social media use to mitigate comparison effects
- I am a lecturer in psychology, interested in how emotions and situation selection can be used to promote sustainable and healthy behavior. My research focuses on how situations and emotions motivate goal-directed behavior, and I am involved in projects applying these insights to wellbeing and sustainability in both academic and practical settings
- I am an associate professor with a special interest in social and cognitive aspects of Human-AI interactions. I am co-directing the GoalLab with Ruud Custers
- I am an assistant professor in psychology, focusing on social cognition and human-AI interaction. In the Goallab, I work on projects about literacy, autonomy, and inclusive AI in healthcare
- I am a PhD Candidate, interested studying the psychological aspects of human-AI interactions. I am currently researching intentionality perceptions in AI agents
- I am a PhD candidate in the Goallab at the Psychology Department. Being interested in the role of artificial intelligence (AI) in goal pursuit and its impact on human psychology, I investigate this topic through behavioural and psychophysiological studies
- I am a visiting assistant professor from the Computer Science department. I am interested in using machine learning techniques for researching human text understanding, speech classification, and physiological responses
- I am a Psychology professor studying how social contexts shape sensory integration. I collaborate with industry on using cross-sensory congruency to enhance wellbeing
- I am an assistant professor interested in human habits and (behavioural) addictions. I am involved in several projects studying basic and applied questions, such as smartphone use
- I am a PhD candidate in psychology, primarily interested in learning and decision-making. My PhD project focuses on motivated sampling and the persistence of irrational fears
- I am a PhD candidate in Psychology. My doctoral research explores how trust is formed and dynamically adjusted through repeated interactions with AI systems, particularly in response to feedback
- I am a research assistant at the Goallab. Together with Monique Smeets, I investigate how multisensory stimulation influences emotion. In collaboration with Chris Harris and Hyunji Kim, I study construal level theory and psychological distance
- I am a Research Assistant interested in goal directed behaviours, habits, and Human-AI interactions. I am involved in two research lines investigating the persistence of outcome anticipations in habitual behaviours and the outsourcing of cognitive control to Algorithmic systems
- I am a social and health psychology research master student, working as a student assistant and completing my masters thesis at the Goallab. For my thesis, I am collaborating with Baptist Liefooghe investigating cognitive outsourcing. Specifically, I want to understand when cognitive outsourcing stops being a deliberate, thoughtful choice, and becomes something we do automatically. As a student assistant, I am working on multiple projects, including research on ideomotor action with Ruud Custers, and the relationship between self-regulation and emotion-regulation with Jurriaan te Koppele and Catharine Evers
- I am a Social and Health Psychology Research Master student, working as a student assistant at the Goallab. My student assistant duties at the Goallab include researching low literacy with Hans Marien, handling general lab management, managing our social media presence, and providing flexible support across other lab tasks wherever needed
- I am a social and health psychology research master’s student. For my master's thesis, I am collaborating with Catharine Evers on research into emotion regulation. We are investigating whether timing and duration of reappraisal have an effect on emotions and cognitive costs
- I am a research master’s student in Social and Health Psychology. For my thesis, I am working with Ruud Custers looking at the effect of reward-value on anticipated outcomes in habit formation and whether it differs for people that are sensitive to addiction
- I am a research master’s student working with Chris Harris. I am broadly interested in abstract thinking. For my master’s thesis, I am exploring how psychological distance shapes the way people represent events
