معرفی
Eerika Johander is a Postdoctoral Researcher at the INVEST Research Flagship Centre, University of Turku, specializing in evidence-based approaches to bullying prevention in educational settings. Her work bridges psychological theory and practical school interventions.
Her research centers on bullying dynamics, teacher intervention efficacy, and student emotional responses, with particular focus on how condemning messages and empathy-raising techniques influence bystander behavior. She examines critical factors like callous-unemotional traits, program adherence, and intervention failure mechanisms, primarily within the Finnish KiVa anti-bullying framework.
Analysis of her 2019-2025 publications reveals a dominant focus on school-based bullying interventions (80% of output), with methodological emphasis on longitudinal studies and experimental designs. While her core work centers on social psychology applications, her 2019 sarcasm processing study demonstrates complementary expertise in cognitive linguistics.
Dr. Johander maintains active collaboration with leading researchers including Christina Salmivalli and Claire F. Garandeau. Her institutional affiliation with the INVEST Research Flagship Centre positions her within a multidisciplinary network addressing complex societal challenges through translational research.
