Self-regulatory processes in the context of chronic disease: the function of counterfactuals related to an HIV infection
9 Maio 2025, 09:00 • Lígia Monteiro
Counterfactuals can form a powerful mechanism in both self-regulatory and cognitive processes, as described in the functional theory of counterfactuals (Epstude & Roese 2008, Roese & Epstude, 2017). Much of the social psychological literature on counterfactuals is based on lab research. While there is nothing wrong with lab research, it can fall short of adequately capturing the dynamics of counterfactuals in real-life situations. This is especially the case when the context of the counterfactuals is not as malleable as our usual experimental inductions, but stable, as for example in chronic conditions. In the first half of my talk, I will explore the nature of stable contexts and the functionality of counterfactuals, based on evidence from clinical research, own research of individuals living with HIV referring to published findings (Epstude & Jonas, 2015) and recent data from the Positive Voices 2.0 study.
In the second half of my talk, I will focus more on the challenges and general contingencies of collecting data among marginalized communities. I will discuss co-creation processes and the meaningful involvement of participants in research processes, based on examples from HIV cure research. This second part is also meant to reflect on own research approaches and strategies and will provide hands-on applicable knowledge on how conduct research among marginalized communities in an ethical way.
Development and Treatment of Early Externalizing Behavior Problems and ADHD in young children
21 Fevereiro 2025, 14:00 • Lígia Monteiro

Who Stands Up? An intergroup approach to bystander dynamics in bias-based bullying
5 Dezembro 2024, 10:00 • Raquel António
This seminar, titled " Who Stands Up? An intergroup approach to bystander dynamics in bias-based bullying" explores the complex dynamics of bystander behavior in incidents of bias-based bullying, with a focus on the experiences of diverse advantaged and disadvantaged groups, including LGBTIQ+ and ethnic minorities. Drawing from social psychology theories such as social identity theory and intergroup contact theory, the seminar will explore the psychological mechanisms that influence bystander actions— specifically what may promote or inhibit their intentions to intervene.
