Angélique O. J. Cramer

Angélique O. J. Cramer is an Associate Professor of Methodology and Statistics at Tilburg University, a position Cramer has held since 2017, and previously served as an Assistant Professor of Psychological Methods at the University of Amsterdam from 2013 to 2016. Cramer's research focuses on network approaches to understanding the structure of psychopathology and psychiatric constructs, with particular expertise in cross-lagged network models, complex dynamic systems in mental disorders, and psychometric methodology. Cramer's work has contributed significantly to reconceptualizing mental disorders as interconnected networks of problems rather than discrete diagnostic entities, and Cramer has developed and promoted computational tools such as qgraph for visualizing relationships in psychological data. Cramer's broader research interests encompass measurement invariance, the nature of personality traits, causal modeling in psychology, and the application of network analysis to understand phenomena ranging from bereavement and post-traumatic stress to the impact of stressful life events on symptom patterns.
