Tânia Brandão has a PhD (2017) in Psychology (FPCEUP). She is assistant Professor in Psychology at the Department of Psychology – Universidade Autónoma de Lisboa (UAL) since 2017. She is integrated member at the CIP – Center for Research at UAL and collaborator member at the CPUP – Center for Psychology at University of Porto. She is currently vice-president of the Ethics Committee of the CIP-UAL. Her research focuses on the role played by close relationships and cognitive and emotional processes on the physical and mental well-being of families (especially couples) in normative (e.g., pregnancy) and non-normative contexts (e.g., cancer, chronic pain, dementia caregiving). Current projects focus on (1) the antecedents and consequents of emotion regulation in daily life of individuals and couples; (2) the role of emotion regulation in the process of adaptation to dementia caregiving. In her research she has used sophisticated data analytic approaches (e.g., actor-partner interdependence model; moderated-mediation models; structural equation models).
