My work focuses on social cognition, self-other distinction, and the dynamics of stress and mood in
both everyday life and challenging contexts, such as the COVID-19 pandemic. I am deeply committed to
big team science, actively participating in large-scale, multinational collaborations that tackle
topics like climate psychology, moral judgment, and the replicability of psychological research.
By combining insights into individual psychological processes with collaborative scientific efforts,
I strive to advance interdisciplinary approaches and global perspectives to deepen our understanding of
human behavior.

Comparing Self-Other Distinction Across Motor, Cognitive, and Affective Domains
Results showed no correlation among SOD domains, suggesting three distinct types.
Recognized as a transdiagnostic mechanism, SOD is a promising target for interventions, especially
given its impairment in psychiatric conditions.

Everyday Helping during COVID-19
We demonstrated that everyday helping during two COVID-19 national lockdowns was associated with
improved mood but increased stress when effortful.

RT Pre-processing Checklist
This paper highlights the lack of transparency in reporting reaction time data analyses
in behavioral sciences and introduces a checklist to improve reproducibility, supported by
expert consensus and a multiverse analysis.
