''Fear is a superpower. Fear can make you faster, and cleverer , and stronger. Fear doesn’t have to make you cruel or cowardly. Fear can make you kind.''
I am a PhD-candidate at the Developmental Psychopathology program of the Behavioural Science Institute in Nijmegen. In my doctorial research I plan to design and test a video game to help youth cope with stress and promote emotional resilience.
Prior to my appointment as PhD-candidate, I obtained a master's degree in Communication Science and a research master degree in Behavioural Science at the Radboud University Nijmegen. During my research master, I collaborated with the GEMH lab to help design and study a video game to train inhibitory control. Working within this multidisciplinary team I became passionate about the potential of video games as a research and intervention tool.
Smoking is one of the leading public health problems in the world. In the Netherlands today, still 1 in 4 youth between the ages of 16 and 25 smoke. Even more worrisome is that there are almost no evidence-based interventions available to help them quit smoking. That’s why we, in collaboration with scientists, game designers and smoking youth, developed and tested a game to help youth quit smoking. HitnRun is a mobile game in which you can train your impulse control, and in which you collaborate in teams, support each other’s quit attempts, and compete against other teams.
Our research aims to transform young people’s mental health by developing and testing a social game for resiliency when facing stress events. Working in collaboration with the Award winning studio Aardman Animations, we want to harness the important mental health implications of both social support and mindsets, to develop a fun and engaging intervention.

A new year is upon us, and for many of us, this means it is a time of reflection and resolutions. No matter what changes you might want to make, you need to believe you can! Therefore this month theme is centered around mindsets, how you view yourself, your abilities and characteristics.

Stress, it may be an inevitable part of life. Yet by many stress is viewed as uncontrollable and even dangerous. But what if we could rewire our brains to make stress our friend rather than our enemy?
