Biography
Gabriela D. Roman is an Affiliated Lecturer at the Institute of Criminology, University of Cambridge. She holds a PhD in Developmental Psychology from the University of Cambridge.
Her research lies at the intersection of affective and cognitive science, with a focus on arousal-modulated cognitions in adverse environments. Within CAC she is involved in investigating the developmental propositions of the SAT, as applied to the PADS+ dataset.
Gabriela's work relies on quantitative longitudinal methodologies, in particular longitudinal structural equation modelling (e.g. mpluswizard.com; mpluscambridge.com). More recently she has been working on developing the method of 'experiential cascades', aimed at deconstructing interactions and experiences (methodofcascades.com).
