Arthur Braaten
Arthur Braaten is a Ph.D. Candidate in clinical psychology at the University of Ottawa in Ottawa, Canada. He is a part of the Well-Being Lab supervised by Dr. Veronika Huta, where research is primarily focused on understanding well-being and how people pursue well-being in life (i.e., eudaimonia, hedonia, and extrinsic pursuits). Arthur has a passion for studying and researching well-being and existential psychology. He has conducted research on eudaimonic and hedonic motives in the academic domain, as well as understanding how worldviews and past life events (e.g., cumulative adversity) relate to eudaimonic, hedonic, and extrinsic pursuits in life. In line with his interests in existential psychology, his doctoral thesis focuses on how and why people react differently to the vastness of the universe. Arthur has received scholarships and conference awards for his research. Arthur is also passionate about his work in clinical psychology, especially conducting individual and group psychotherapy with those struggling with a wide range of mental health challenges.
