PhD Student

Doctorate (2022)

Including researchers from both cultures in my PhD project provides a deeper and more nuanced understanding of psychological phenomena by considering different perspectives and methodological approaches.

A team with members in Spain and Japan, between other countries, facilitated access to different populations and samples.

The collaboration allowed me to improve both countries' recruitment and data collection processes, making the process more efficient and representative.

Also, their collaboration in interpreting the data, ensuring that conclusions are relevant and understandable in both contexts is essential.

The publications resulting from the research have a greater impact and reach if they are co-authored by researchers from both countries.
