\n“Stressful Life Events: From Individual to Couple to Family Perspectives”<\/p>\n
Date: Tuesday, 2 May 2023
\nTime: 12:30
\nRoom: C Blok amphitheatre<\/p>\n
Abstract:
\nStressful life events are among the main predictors of mental health. However, research on stressful life events primarily focused on intra-individual processes and ignored that they are not experienced in a social vacuum: People experience those events with others, their interpersonal relationships are affected, and the mental health of people in close relationships is interdependent. In this talk, I will present individual, couple, and family-level findings in my research on mental health and relationships during and after stressful life events, specifically focusing on the death of loved ones, the transition to parenthood, and the pandemic. I will argue that a socio-ecological and interdisciplinary perspective is required to paint a comprehensive picture of well-being after stressful life events.<\/p>\n
