Inês Queiroz Garcia

About

Inês Queiroz Garcia completed her Master’s degree in Clinical Psychology, with a specialization in Family and Systemic Therapies from Instituto Superior Miguel Torga (Coimbra) in 2016. Inês’s research career has been marked by her role as a research assistant (an accomplished research scholarship) at William James Center for Research (WJCR), ISPA – Instituto Universitário. During her time at WJCR, Inês was involved in several notable projects, such as SOCIALDEVIANCE1820 (psychosocial adjustment, prosocial and antisocial behavior during early adulthood), EVISA – Life Experiences | Health in Adult Life (perceived health in middle and older aged men and women), ADJUST2PAIN (effects of beliefs and coping in adjustment to pain), and WELCOM (weight loss in the community), as other investigations regarding psychometric validation of relevant instruments for psychology research. Also, she was later granted a research scholarship (within a research assistant position) for the COPAHS project – “COping with PAin through Hypnosis, mindfulness and Spirituality”, supported by the BIAL Foundation (ref. 188/18). This project aimed to investigate the impact of hypnosis, mindfulness and spirituality as coping strategies for pain. Currently, Inês is a Doctoral student in Health Psychology at ISPA – Instituto Universitário (William James Center for Research). Her research endeavors are centered on the conceptualization of obesity in couples, along with the exploration of perceived barriers and facilitators to weight loss through the lens of a theoretical couple based-model. She is actively engaged in the development and assessment of the efficacy of a couple-focused online intervention (eHealth) designed to overcome barriers and enhance facilitators for weight loss. This project receives support from the Foundation for Science and Technology under reference 2020.05357.BD.
