Sociology

Main research areas

  • Social trust
  • Victimization

Current research

The aim of my dissertation is to explore the factors that generate social trust among adolescents. Specifically, I am interested in the potentially detrimental effect of volatile events upon particularized, institutional and generalized trust. I also wish to explore the effects of inherited trust and peer influence during adolescence.
 
 

Background

I took my Bachelor’s degree in Sociology at Gothenburg University and after that I took my Master’s degree in Criminology at Gothenburg University.
