  • Antisocial behaviour mainly a consequence of gene interactions

    5 October 2017

    Individual genes have little influence in the development of antisocial behaviour. However, the interaction of genes as a whole could explain some of the differences in antisocial behaviour. This was revealed by international research among more than 25,000 participants in which the researchers Jorim Tielbeek, Arne Popma, Tinca Polderman and Danielle Posthuma of VUmc and VU Amsterdam were involved. Tielbeek carried out this research with funding from the NWO programme Research Talent. The research was published today in JAMA Psychiatry.

  • Data processors have a duty to protect citizens' privacy

    27 June 2017

    Adequately protecting citizens' privacy is particularly difficult in a world in which data flows are continuously growing and data analysis is becoming increasingly faster. It is high time that privacy be no longer simply regarded as an individual right but also as an obligation of data processors, contends lawyer and philosopher Bart van der Sloot. That is the correct approach according to virtue ethics. He defended his doctoral thesis on Friday 30 June at the University of Amsterdam. His research was funded from the NWO programme Research Talent.

  • Working outside office hours does not necessarily harm the family

    22 May 2017

    Working outside office hours does not necessarily harm the family. Working in the evening, at night or at weekends actually gives parents more opportunities to care for their children themselves. This is the conclusion of Melissa Verhoef’s PhD thesis ‘Work schedules, childcare and well-being’. It puts this type of work schedule in a more positive light than previous research found and prevailing public opinion holds. Verhoef defended her doctoral thesis on Friday 19 May at Utrecht University. Her research was carried out with funding from the NWO Research Talent programme.

    24 April 2017

Sacha Epskamp conducted research in this area known as ‘network psychometrics’, which explains various forms of psychological networks. Epskamp obtained his PhD on Wednesday 5 April at the University of Amsterdam. His research was funded by the NWO Research Talent programme.
