PhD Student, SWPS University of Social Sciences and Humanities in Warsaw

Summary of research

My research interests focus on mechanisms of aggression in both interpersonal and intergroup context. In my doctoral dissertation, I tried to gain a better understanding of how revenge related pleasure shapes intentions towards the wrongdoer. Currently, I am leading works on negative consequences of positive affective states as part of the Preludium research grant funded by the National Science Centre. I am a recipient of the prestigious Fulbright Junior Research Award which allowed me to carry out research at Virginia Commonwealth University in the United States. I was also a visiting researcher at Goethe Universität in Frankfurt am Main, Germany and participated in the renowned European Association of Social Psychology Summer School at the University of Surrey.
