Romy van der Lee graduated in 2007 (Cum Laude) from the Research Master’s in Social Psychology at VU University Amsterdam. Her thesis was about the justice and fairness of ostracism (social exclusion). She conducted the research for this thesis in the US, at Purdue University. After graduating, she has worked as a teacher in Psychology and Communication Science at VU University Amsterdam. Currently, she is working as a Ph.D. candidate at the department of Social and Organization Psychology at Leiden University under the supervision of Naomi Ellemers and Daan Scheepers. The subject of her project is morality, competence, and motivation in group contexts.

Research

Her research focuses on the effects of different dimensions of value (morality, competence) on motivated behaviour. Specifically, how morality and competence judgements of ingroup members affect the adoption of strategies for goal achievement. In doing so, the focus will be on the psychophysiological difference between identity threat and challenge.
