I was interviewed by Swiss public radio (SRF) about our new survey on #mentalhealth in #academia. We (@actionuni.bsky.social) surveyed over 2,500 researchers across Switzerland. Around 1 in 4 report depressive symptoms or feeling burned out. What should change? see 🧵 Read the SRF report 👇

🤔 Should #digital #interventions really be delivered when people feel most distressed? No! In our study, we found that triggering based on self-reported need was rated as more helpful and timely than triggering based on emotion dynamics! 👉 Paper out in #JMIR Mental Health: doi.org/10.2196/74103

Heading home from #ehps2025 — health psychology at its best in my second academic home, Groningen 🇳🇱! It was great to meet old friends and get to know new people and their work! I presented our study on when to ideally deliver digital health interventions in daily life 👉 mental.jmir.org/2025/1/e74103

Yes, indeed! Our preprint is out! 🙌 We compared different #JITAI triggering strategies and found that those based on self-reported support need were rated better than those based on #emotion (dynamics)! More on this and the feasibility of our social support JITAI 👇 osf.io/preprints/ps...

Does smartphone use make people feel lonelier? Or does loneliness predict smartphone use? We combined experience sampling data with smartphone usage data to examine the bidirectional association between well-being and smartphone use over time. Published in @apajournals.bsky.social Emotion! 🧵 👇
