Maartje Overhaus

Maartje Overhaus is a PhD candidate within the Growing Up Together in Society (GUTS) consortium at the Vrije Universiteit Amsterdam. She is supervised by Lydia Krabbendam, Eveline Crone, and Mariët van Buuren. Her PhD research investigates how environmental factors shape both social and personal outcomes, including civic engagement and perceived inequality. She also focuses on the role of self-regulation, examining whether this ability mediates or moderates the relationship between societal opportunities and social and personal outcomes. To address these questions, she works closely together with fellow researchers from the GUTS work package at the Erasmus University Rotterdam.
