Biography

I am an assistant professor at the University of Sevilla. I teach mainly in the psychology at degree and master level. My research is about analyzing the consequences that sexual objectification has for women at interpersonal, intrapersonal, and social level. Specifically, I am focused on the psychosocial correlates of sexual objectification interactions. Moreover, I am interested on testing the efficacy of interventions aiming IPV victims.

Main interests

  • Sexual objectification
  • Perpetration of female sexual objectification
  • Sexual violence
  • Efficacy of interventions aiming IPV victims
