What is EPP research 2-3 October 2024
EPP Symposium 157

The research field of Experimental Psychopathology (EPP) is quickly changing, with novel methods (e.g., ecological methodological assessment), frameworks (e.g., network theory), and goals (e.g., more emphasis on valorisation of research findings). This gives rise to the question: What is EPP research? More precisely we wonder what the unique position of EPP research is within the ecosystem of psychology research. In this EPP symposium, several established researchers within the field will share their perspective on this question. Furthermore, we will organize interactive session to uncover the perspectives of the participants of the symposium.
