Lisa Janssen is a Doctoral Researcher affiliated with the Department of Political Science and research group GASPAR. Her primary research interests lie at the intersection of political psychology, political behaviour, and comparative politics, with a particular focus on understanding citizens’ commitments to democratic procedures and principles. In her dissertation she examines how affective polarization influences citizens’ willingness to prioritize political gain over democratic values. Methodologically, Lisa employs a range of quantitative techniques, including experiments, panel data analysis, and cross-national surveys. As a political scientist, Lisa is committed to interdisciplinary research and open science principles. Her work is supported by the Research Foundation Flanders (FWO) under a four-year fundamental research fellowship, and has been published in leading international peer-reviewed journals, such as the European Journal of Political Research, Political Behaviour, and Acta Politica.
