Biography

Background

After graduating with a First Class in MA(Hons) Psychology at the University of St Andrews in June 2017, I started my PhD here in Edinburgh in September 2017, with a focus on cross-cultural aspects of depression. In particular, I am looking at the relationship between attachment, emotion regulation and depression in adolescents and young adults, and how it varies across different cultures, specifically Vietnam and Scotland.

Research summary

I am interested in exploring the relationship between attachment, emotion regulation (specifically, cognitive reappraisal, suppression, and rumination) and depression. Using individual values as a means of culture, my research is also looking at how culture influences this relationship, with a particular focus on adolescents and young adolescents.
