  • Profile

    Susanne Schulz works as postdoctoral researcher at the Research Institute of Child Development and Education. Her research focuses on how emotional and behavioral problems are transmitted between parents and their children. She's particularly interested in understanding the mechanisms that explain why intergenerational transmission processes are (not) maintained across time and in identifying effective targets to break negative transmission processes.

    Susanne received her Master's and teacher's degrees at the University of Hamburg (Educational Sciences, German Language Studies, and English Language Studies, highest honors) and at the University of Amsterdam (Research Master Child Development and Education, cum laude). Her PhD project at the Research Center of Adolescent Development (Utrecht University) focused on the intergenerational transmission of psychopathology and personal relationships in adolescence as part of the Gravitation Programme of the Consortium Individual Development (CID).
