Time to Get Social: Adaptive Social Interactions in the Daily Lives of Youth KU Leuven
To better understand the development of mental health problems, it is of fundamental importance to focus on both adolescence - as this is the age period where most psychopathology develops - and social processes - as psychological distress is largely interpersonal in nature. In addition, certain parenting styles are strong predictors of both social and mental health outcomes. However, relatively little is known about how these different factors ...
Internet, Television and Social Capital: The effect of screen time on social capital KU Leuven
Social capital theory as it was developed in the 1990s assumed that face-to-face interaction is a crucial requirement for the development of generalized trust and other pro-social attitudes and behaviors. Television and other electronic media were therefore dismissed as having a potentially negative impact on social capital development. Based on an analysis of high-quality data and a rich variety of social capital indicators in the General ...
A multitude of natural, social and individual time Vrije Universiteit Brussel
Elias’ essay on time is often interpreted both as a critique on the juxtaposition of natural time and social time as well as a plea for a triadic conception of time in which natural time and social time both provide the ‘materials’ for individual choices of time.

Relationships of Individual, Social, and Physical Environmental Factors With Older Adults’ Television Viewing Time. Vrije Universiteit Brussel Ghent University

This study examined individual, social, and physical environmental correlates of older adults' television viewing. Data on daily television viewing time, plus individual, social, and physical environmental factors were ...
Social vulnerability as a predictor of physical activity and screen time in European children Ghent University
The interplay between illness, time use, mobility and social contact behaviour and its relevance for infectious disease transmission. Hasselt University
To gain knowledge on the effects of possible intervention strategies, realistic mathematical models of infectious disease transmission are necessary. Social contact behaviour, which is relevant for spreading of infections through the respiratory route, has been shown to provide valuable information in estimating the transmission parameters in said mathematical models. Throughout this thesis, we discuss various factors influencing social contact ...
