Faculty bio
My primary research focuses on personal goals and values (as the core of self-identity) and psychological well-being.
On one side, I investigate the structure and origins of goals and values, studying the effect of social contexts (e.g., higher education, organizations) and personal growth experiences (e.g., self-development activities, significant life transitions, life traumas) on the development of personal goals, values and self-identity.
On the other side, I investigate the relationships between goals/values and personal well-being (e.g., happiness, optimal functioning), social well-being (e.g., positive leadership, social responsibility) and ecological well-being (e.g., ecological behaviours).
Finally, I have a strong interest in quantitative psychology (e.g., structural equation modeling; longitudinal data analysis) and online research methods (e.g., dynamic web surveys).
