In her PhD proejct, Ewa investigated four social-cognitive skills in adolescents (emotion recognition, inhibitory control, perspective-taking and emoathy for pain) which may be related to or affected by the exposure to violent video games. The project was supervised by prof. Elly Konijn, prof. Lydia Krabbendam, and dr. Johanna van Hooff and funded in 2015 by a Research Talent Grant (NWO).

Since September 2022, Ewa is a postdoctoral researcherat the Utrecht University.

Since September 2021, Ewa was a postdotoral researcher in the Department of Clinical, Neuro- & Developmental Psychology collaborating with prof. Lydia Krabbendam in a NeurolabNL project on education: https://neurolab.nl/onderzoek_corona/
The project involved a systematic review on the effects of the COVID-19 pandemic on education (motivation and self-regulated learning).

In 2013, Ewa graduated Master studies in psychology in Poland (SWPS University of Social Sciences and Humanities). Her Master thesis was focused on emotional information processing in players of violent video games. After graduation, she worked as a research assistant in projects on gambling (SWPS University), and on the effects of violent video games on emotional and cognitive processes (SWPS University, VU Amsterdam).

Research

In her PhD research, Ewa combines Media Psychology, Developmental Psychology and Neuroscience to study behavioral and neural correlates of violent video game exposure on social and cognitive skills in adolescent players (emotion recognition, inhibitory control, empathy for pain, perspective taking).

In her postdoc research, Ewa combines her expertise in Neuroeducation, Developmental Psychology, and Media Psychology to understand the effects of online education during the COVID-19 pandemic on students.
