Minja Westerlund
Minja completed her Master’s degree in psychology in 2008 and joined thereafter the
Centre of Excellence for Behavior Genetics. In her Master’s thesis Minja examined the
genetic and environmental relations between unrestricted sexual attitudes and sexual
aggression. Her primary area of interest for future research is sexual socialisation
and how this process is affected by environmental and genetic factors.
In addition to her research, Minja works as a psychologist and researcher at Turku
University’s clinical trials service unit (Clinical Research Services Turku, CRST).
