معرفی
Dr. Dominique Maciejewski is an Assistant Professor in the Department of Developmental Psychology at Tilburg School of Social and Behavioral Sciences, Tilburg University, where she joined in May 2023. Her research focuses on emotion (regulation) dynamics in mental health among young people, using Experience Sampling Methods (ESM) to capture emotional processes in daily life.
Her academic journey includes a PhD in developmental psychopathology from VU University Amsterdam (2014-2016), followed by postdoctoral positions at Virginia Tech (2016) and Amsterdam UMC/Erasmus MC (2017-2019) where she coordinated the large-scale Mood And Resilience In Offspring (MARIO) project. She served as Assistant Professor at Radboud University (2019-2023) before moving to Tilburg.
Dr. Maciejewski's research expertise spans emotion regulation, adolescent mental health, and methodological innovations in ESM. She co-leads the international 'Measurement is the New Black' consortium and received an NWO XS grant to study response processes in ESM studies. Her work examines how emotion dynamics relate to mental health outcomes and the effectiveness of just-in-time adaptive interventions.
Her recent publications reveal a strong focus on emotion regulation variability, with innovative methodological approaches like the Bray-Curtis dissimilarity index. Her research combines theoretical depth with practical applications for understanding adolescent emotional development and mental health.
Scientific Awards:
- NWO XS grant on response processes in ESM studies (2022)
- Award for best master thesis of the faculty of psychology and education (2015)
- VU Fellowship Program for excellent students (2012)
Dr. Maciejewski actively supervises students at all levels and teaches Developmental Psychology at Tilburg University. She leads several research projects including the Track Your Mood Project and Flits Study, which examine emotion regulation dynamics in daily life through intensive longitudinal methods. She is particularly interested in understanding when emotional variability is adaptive and how emotion regulation flexibility contributes to mental health outcomes in young people.
