Alba Jasini

Alba Jasini is a researcher at the Center for Social and Cultural Psychology at KU Leuven, where Jasini has been employed since 2013. Jasini's research focuses on emotional acculturation, intergroup relations, and the adjustment experiences of immigrant-origin minority youth, with particular attention to how cultural exposure, social acceptance, and cross-cultural friendship networks shape emotional well-being in acculturating populations. Jasini's work examines discrimination and collective identity dynamics in both violent and non-violent conflict contexts, contributing to understanding of how emotional fit and belonging develop in diverse school and community settings.
