Summary of research

I completed my M.A. in Psychology (clinical) at Adam Mickiewicz University in Poznan and M.A. in Social Psychology at the University of Helsinki. In 2016, I graduated from the University of Helsinki with a Ph.D. in Social Psychology. Besides social psychology of intergroup relations, I have a strong background in clinical and health psychology, and quantitative research methods. My research focuses on collective narcissism, intergroup relations and contact, national and ethnic identity, labour market discrimination and acculturation, and well-being. Currently, I am a post-doctoral researcher in Dr Agnieszka Golec de Zavala's project that investigates the role of mindful gratitude meditation in reducing intergroup hostility among collective narcissists. I am an active member of Dr Golec de Zavala’s Prejudice Lab at Goldsmiths, University of London.
