The official resource page of the Profan research programme has finally been released!
Indeed, during my PhD, I had the opportunity to participate in the ProFan project, a large experimental research programme in psychology and education. This project was funded by two French ministries (MENJS and MESRI) and investigated the impact of alternative learning methods on development of social skills and academic performance among vocational students. Of particular interest for my PhD was whether cognitive factors (i.e. working memory capacity) and psychosocial factors (i.e., self-esteem, achievement goals) were likely to play a role during resource-dependent cooperation.
A full summary of my work and a video recording of my PhD defence are now available (in French) on the e-fran platform.
A few days ago, my friend Yulong Huang, PhD at UGent came to me with this idea: What if we organised a scientific and social event in our department to share thoughts, results and ideas about research in social cognition ? 1, 2, 3, on Monday the invitation letter was sent to the department!
