Fall Symposium 2023

Invitation - Fall symposium 1 November 2023

Healthy ageing, health and well-being are focal areas of research at the University of Groningen. At the Faculty of Behavioural and Social Sciences there is considerable expertise on these topics and a lot of potential for fruitful collaborations between researchers and students. The aim of this annual symposium of the Social Sciences Centre for Health and Well-being is to bring together researchers, PhD and (research) master students who share an interest in healthy ageing, health and well-being from the perspective of the behavioural and social sciences. The symposium serves to inform each other about ongoing work at the faculty, explore opportunities for future collaborations and joint funding proposals, and contribute to the creation of an active Health and Well-Being research community within our Faculty and beyond.

Format
The symposium starts with a walk-in lunch from 12:00-12:30 hrs, followed by a keynote by Floor Middel, assistant professor at the pedagogical and educational sciences (faculty BSS). Floor will talk about disparities in decision making: the case of child protection.

After the keynote researchers from different research groups within the Faculty of Behavioural and Social Sciences and beyond will present their ongoing research projects on one of three research themes:

1. Healthy Ageing

Exploring aging experiences of migrants in Europe Tuğçe Tezel


2. Health in social context

Immigrant mental health is predicted by intergroup contact and perceived discrimination: Evidence from Syrian and Iraqi migrants in Turkey Pelin Gül
Finances in everyday life of adults with ADHD Janneke Koerts
Can unstable discourse support stable mental health? Vojtĕch Pišl


3. Health interventions and policy development

The Indonesian general population’s perception of help-seeking in mental healthcare: A survey study Lely Safrina
Handling work-related negative feedback with a growth mindset: A self-regulation view Teodora Heihal
An interdisciplinary approach towards health persuasion using induced eye-movements: The working memory account of persuasion Arie Dijkstra
Goodbye yellow brick road: Nostalgia and mobility perceptions of informal dementia carers Thomas Lowe

Presentations will be short (approximately 10-20 min) to allow for a substantial amount of time for discussions.
