Dear all,
My time as student ambassador of the Health and Social Psychology Master specialisation has come to an end. In September 2019 a new student ambassador will take over this account.

If you have any further questions regarding your future HSP Master, you can contact the university via [email protected].

Happy summer holidays and good luck with the preparations of your future career steps. All the best, Amil

The neuroscience of breaking your bad habits: Find out how to train your brain to create better habits and then commit to it. Habits are deeply wired in the basal ganglia area of your brain. If you want to change, develop a strategy to break out of your bad circuit. You have to put conscious effort and patience into the process and find out how to replace your old behavior with a new one while still giving yourself a reward for choosing the new behavior. Everyone's enthusiastic about changing just to give up later, including me many times. Commitment and patience is key.

How strong is your willpower? Do you turn your back on a delicious but calorie filled cake just to devour it down your throat the next minute, feeling guilty afterwards and saying to yourself for the hundredth time "how this was the last time"?

Still not sure if you want to study Health and Social Psychology in Maastricht in September 2019? I was advised to tell you about the tense accommodation situation in Maastricht at the moment. Also, apparently I should encourage you to go looking for accommodation as soon as possible and make your student choice on time. I should refer you to: www.maastrichthousing.com

Good luck!

A while ago I visited the international school in Breda to help highschool students to improve their writing skills for writing an academic paper. Thank you for the nice experience and I am looking forward to hearing from some of you again. If you have got any questions left regarding academic papers, studying, or Maastricht university, just shoot me a message and I will try to get back to you as soon as possible. Enjoy highschool.

During the research internship, you have more flexibility during the week. For example, you could visit those many cities that are worth seeing and not too far from Maastricht. As my favorite music store in Maastricht shut down, I went to the one in Cologne.

10/03/2019

Music House Daan Smit B.V., which, as far as I know is the only big music store in Maastricht, had been shut down recently. Great store and great owners who had been serving me well over the years when I was too lazy to polish and change the strings of my guitar myself. I definitely felt like a kid in candy land every time I walked in. So, for the musiclovers among us who are looking for a proper music store, it seems like we have to drive out of town for that...

In this episode, I am telling you what to expect from the "Self-Regulation" course in period one. Enjoy and as always stay tuned until next time.
Transcript:
Do you ever find yourself worrying excessively, eating or drinking too much, or buying everything you see? This course is, broadly speaking, about the ways in which self-regulation occurs, why it is sometimes lacking, and how it can be improved. So much money is spent on pills to reduce physical and psychological pain: Pills to improve sleep, pills to reduce anxiety, pills to lower blood pressure, and so on. But the truth is that health is strongly related to lifestyle habits. Instead of taking pills, you should, for example, hit the gym more often, stop smoking, reduce alcohol intake, take good time for rest, and develop adaptive ways of managing stress. As psychologist Albert Bandura once wrote: “Self-management is a good medicine. If the huge benefits of these few habits were put into a pill it would be declared a scientific milestone in the field of medicine”

This is a video where I summarise for you an empirical study of problem 5 "Pavlovian powers" from the Bad Habits course in 59 seconds. Enjoy!
Transcript:
"Obesity is a major health problem and its prevalence is rising, not only in the United States but also in the Netherlands. According to research, 40% of the Dutch adults are currently overweight or obese.
Overweight is becoming more common in children, but we know nearly nothing about the eating behavior of overweight children.
Learning theory predicts that overeating follows from learned associations between the smell and taste of palatable food on the one hand and intake on the other hand. After series of tests and observations, it's observed and concluded that overweight children fail to regulate their food intake when they are confronted with temptations like the intense smell and taste of appetizing food, whereas normal-weight children decreased their intake after both cues.
Their overeating is not related to psychological factors like mood, self-esteem, and a restrained eating style, but it was related to cue-elicited salivation flow.
"
