Biography
I am an Assistant Professor in the Department of Social and Organizational Psychology at the National University of Distance Education (UNED), Spain. My research focuses on analyzing the psychosocial factors involved in cyber intimate partner violence and its consequences for young people’s well-being, addressing this issue from a gender perspective. More broadly, I collaborate on several research lines aimed at examining different forms of discrimination and violence against women (such as workplace sexual harassment, street harassment, and sexist portrayals in the media), as well as their impact on women’s psychosocial well-being.
Main interests
