Wellbeing, interaction, and interventions
Our research examines the connections between well-being and social interaction from physical, psychological, and social perspectives across different life stages and environments. We employ both experimental and naturalistic designs, using methods such as behavioral assessments as well as neurophysiological measures of brain and autonomic nervous system activity. With these approaches, we investigate how interaction and well-being are intertwined. Our research encompasses interactions in both face-to-face and digital contexts, across different age groups, as well as between humans and other species.
Our intervention research focuses on psychological, psychotherapeutic, and pedagogical interventions that support wellbeing, quality of life, behavior change, and learning. We also examine the effects of physical activity and other health-related interventions in multidisciplinary collaboration. The aim is to generate knowledge that can be used to develop education, strengthen interaction skills, and promote the wellbeing of individuals and communities.
