معرفی
Xenia Brancart serves as a Mandate Assistant within the Personality and Psychopathology Research Group at the Faculty of Psychology and Educational Sciences, Vrije Universiteit Brussel. Her research focuses on temperament-based personality classification systems in older adult populations, with particular emphasis on understanding how personality traits relate to mental health outcomes in geriatric contexts.
Her research interests span personality psychology, temperament assessment, emotional regulation mechanisms, and psychometric validation of assessment tools for older adults. Dr. Brancart employs person-centered approaches including latent profile analysis to identify distinct personality types in community-dwelling and clinical older adult populations, with significant work on the Resilient, Undercontrolled, and Overcontrolled typology framework.
Analysis of her recent publications reveals a consistent focus on applying transdiagnostic approaches to understand personality systems in aging populations. Her work demonstrates expertise in psychometric validation, particularly examining age-neutrality of established personality measures like the BIS/BAS questionnaire and Cognitive Emotion Regulation Questionnaire in Dutch-speaking older adults.

Dr. Brancart actively collaborates with researchers including Gina Rossi, Eva Dierckx, and Rudi De Raedt across multiple projects examining the relationship between temperament, personality, and mental health in older adults. She has contributed to thesis supervision, including work on the 'Ronnie Gardiner Method' in psychogeriatric populations, and regularly presents findings at academic conferences focused on geriatric mental health interventions.
Her research activities include multiple datasets examining personality types and information processing in older adults across both community and clinical settings, demonstrating methodological rigor through comprehensive data collection and analysis.
