Enes’s research explores how emerging adults relate to their possessions, with a particular focus on the cognitive and emotional risk factors that contribute to excessive hoarding behaviours.

Background

By employing both self-report and behavioural measures, Enes aims to gain a deeper understanding of the psychological mechanisms underlying hoarding tendencies. In addition to identifying risk factors, Enes seeks to develop early intervention strategies to prevent the escalation of hoarding tendencies in young adults, promoting healthier emotional and cognitive regulation at this critical stage of development.

Enes is a member of our Clinical and Wellbeing Group and The ARU Possessions and Hoarding Collective which form part of our ARU Centre for Mind and Behaviour.
