- Keywords: predictive validity,implicit measures, self-schemata, traitness, personality assessment
- Current interests:
More than 30 years ago, researchers suggested different approaches for enhancement of predictive validity of psychological measures: self-schemata, traitness, metatraits, scalability… and now the implicit measures of the self-concept . Are these approaches effective in enhancing the prediction of behaviors? Are these approaches based on similar psychological mechanisms? Can these approaches be used outside psychological laboratories?

- Keywords: digital traces, social media behaviour, screening, depression, anxiety
- Current interests:
Traditional self-report assessment is marked by important shortcomings due to problems such as questionable validity, social desirability, impression management or memory biases, to name a few. Therefore, my main interests revolve around the goal of identifying, proposing and testing alternative methods and tools for operationalizing variables in social and personality psychology and mental health. In this regard, my current research work is reflected in questions such as: How could cutting edge technology and data analysis be used as an aid in the fields of mental health and behaviour change? Could people’s digital traces provide a window into their psychology? What digital traces are specifically related to depression and anxiety? Based on such insights, could we develop an accurate enough and cost-efficient screening instrument for depression and anxiety?
