Research
Renate’s research focuses on stress and child maltreatment with a special focus on the intergenerational transmission of child maltreatment and its psychobiological mechanisms.
In her dissertation, she investigated the etiology and sequelae of child maltreatment by concurrently examining processes at different levels of functioning (i.e., cognitive-affective, physiological and behavioral) in an extended family design. After her PhD, she worked as a postdoctoral researcher at VU university Amsterdam on a project investigating the neurobiological correlates of paternal caregiving.
Currently, Renate works as an assistant professor within the research group Forensic Family and Youth Care Studies, Leiden University.
Current research projects
- Fathers in the spotlight: the role of stress and childhood trauma in first-time fathers
- Parenting under stress: an examination of the role of acute stress and empathy in negative parenting in an experimental setting.
- Stress under the skin: investigation of the applicability of wearable biosensor devices to detect changing levels of emotional states and behaviors in parents and children in a daily setting.
