Olívia Ribeiro

Olívia Ribeiro is a PHD student in Developmental Psychology (FCT grant). Her main research interest are associated with the implications of social withdrawal, to adjustment difficulties in social contexts (e.g., peer exclusion and victimization, aggression) and internalizing problems (depression). She is also interested in the relation between loneliness and adolescents’ difficulties in peer relationships. Her research aims to further explore to what extent loneliness is distinct from social withdrawal, identifying different forms of loneliness, as well as the predictors and outcomes of this unpleasant emotional experience.
