My primary research focus is on the etiology of depression. Specifically, I am interested in social cognition and how it plays a role in the development of depression. For my Master’s thesis, I studied cognitive biases in processing social information. For my PhD thesis, I plan to expand this subject with an evolutionary perspective.

PH.D. YEAR 4

13jr59@queensu.ca

I am a first-year PhD student in the Clinical Psychology program. For my Master's thesis work, I investigated alterations in stress-related brain mechanisms related to childhood maltreatment and depression. Currently, I am also interested in investigating mechanisms associated with childhood maltreatment and later risk for revictimization across the lifespan.

PH.D YEAR 3

19agg2@queensu.ca

I am interested in theory of mind - the ability to decode and reason about the mental states of others. Specifically, my research examines socio-cognitive mechanisms underlying the association between depression and theory of mind.

My research interests lie broadly at the nexus of social cognition and psychopathology. Currently, I am interested in exploring the role of theory of mind in daily social functioning.

M.SC. YEAR 2

eliana.brehaut@queensu.ca

I am interested in the relationship between life stress and trajectories of depression. For my master’s thesis, I plan to examine stressful life events and other risk factors in depressed individuals to investigate their risk for future episodes. The ultimate goal will be to help forecast, at the time of initial depression onset, who is and is not prone to multiple lifetime recurrences.

I’m interested in the relationship between child maltreatment and revictimization. For my thesis, I plan to investigate the role of reward sensitivity in the relation between child maltreatment and sexual victimization in adulthood. I will also be looking at how symptoms of anxious arousal interact with this mechanism to further modulate the risk of victimization.
