Research group


I teach in social psychology and qualitative interview methodology. I am the course leader of the following courses; Social psychology (7,5 HECs, bachelor's programme Personell, work and organization), Applied social psychology (7,5 HECs, the International Master's programme in psychology) and Qualitative Interviewing (7,5 HECs, the International Master's programme in Psychology).

I supervise theses at the bachelor and master's level in primarily forensic psychology.

My research interests are all in different ways tied together by questions that concern social psychology. I defended my PhD thesis in 2006 on attribution (social cognition) among shy adults and also conducted research about perceived risks related to different transport modes during my time as a PhD student.

Currently, I work in different projects that concern forensic psychology, criminal behavior and substance use among adults and children. One example is a project financed by the Swedish Research Council and that concerns the influence of language on the quality of investigative interviews with eyewitnesses.


Ethnical discrimination in the legal context

The current project "Ethnical discrimination in the legal context: The role of interviewees’ native language for accuracy and suggestibility in investigative interviews" examines how a persons language (native vs. non-native) affects their accuracy and susceptibility to suggestions in investigative interviews.
