Phd Moving Out of The Brain: Changing The Course of
1 week geleden
Depression and anxiety are often treated as mental disorders within individuals' brains, therefore both prevention and intervention are largely aimed at the cognitive/brain level, disconnecting individuals from their body and environment.
However, often these disorders emerge gradually from (interactions between) psychological, physical, and environmental processes.In the proposed project we want to closely examine these processes on an intra-individual level using an interdisciplinary approach combining movement sciences, psychology, and psychiatry.
Our aim is to provide a better understanding of the development of anxiety and depression, and test possibilities for (behavioural) action to facilitate recovery and return to normal development.
In this PhD-project we take a mixed-methods approach.First, the PhD student will explore the role of agency and affordances in the development of anxiety and depression through a scoping review and a qualitative study with individuals with a history of anxiety/depression.
Next, we investigate the possibilities of recovering from depression/anxiety by increasing agency through movement and social interaction in our stress-lab.
We use ecologically valid experiments to gather rich, highly detailed information of individuals over time, measuring movement behaviour (kinematic/kinetic time series), psychological experience (interviews/questionnaires) and physiological stress-response (heart rate variability).
- Conduct research that results in a dissertation and is in line with the objectives and requirements of the project.
- Organize and execute the data collection for the different studies.
- Publish the results of the research in international scientific journals.
- Present the research findings to fellow scientists and developers in the larger project, and collaborate with them.
