Dr. Katarina Krkovic

The main aim of my research is to understand if and how stress reactivity influences the emergence and exacerbation of paranoia in individuals experiencing psychosis. My research involves both experimental and experience sampling method studies. My research methods include psychophysiological measures of stress reactivity such as salivary cortisol and heart rate (variability). In future I intend to put more focus on investigating interventions based on experience sampling method (ecological momentary interventions – EMI).
