Change and Development in Adolescence
Research focuses on adaptation processes throughout the life cycle, in school, family and work contexts. Research projects emphasize the study of self-regulation processes associated with negative and positive emotional experiences (e.g., coping, savoring), the prevention of mental ill-health risks (e.g., burnout, PTSD) and the promotion of well-being (e.g. engagement, subjective well-being).
