Psychology students talk about their research at the Science Day 2024
The celebration of our up-and-coming science talent, that is the Psychology Science Day. Students stand proudly by their research posters and enrich the insights of fellow students, PhD candidates, postdocs and teachers with their explanations.
Their theses cover the full story; the research posters are where all the knowledge is concentrated. The students of the research master's specialisations are spread through the hall of the Pieter de La Court building. The bachelor's students are closer together with their posters showing the logo of the Honours Research Bachelor Project. Arjaan Wit, Gert-Jan Lelieveld and Maria Sherwood walk from poster to poster and see their efforts for this afternoon rewarded by the students' enthusiastic stories.

Research master's student Antoinette Haverhals: 'I immensely enjoyed how enthusiastic the young people were to participate in the research.'
'As of September, I am a PhD student at our faculty. My interest in my research has to do with the impact of childhood experiences on later functioning. With such a topic, one quickly thinks of negative experiences or problems, such as childhood trauma or psychological problems. In my thesis project, I chose to focus specifically on positive aspects of growing up and functioning. I really enjoyed seeing during the data collection how enthusiastic the young people were to participate in the research and how fanatical they were about the tasks. Many thanks to my supervisors Anna van Duijvenvoorde and Lonneke Elzinga and to my fellow students, with whom I enjoyed working together on this project!'

Nina Komrij knows the ropes as a supervisor of many thesis students over the past few years. 'On this afternoon, I especially enjoy discovering other projects within the Institute of Psychology. I am also here today to meet our future PhD candidates. Because now they are still presenting their research posters as research master's students, but soon the real work will begin when they choose a PhD track. I did that myself at the time and now I am a PhD at Developmental and Educational Psychology.'
