School Psychology

We research, and you can participate.

Our research focuses on cognitive, behavioral, and neural aspects of self-regulation, as well as attention-related processes. Another key area of study is Attention Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD). Our work is grounded in both basic scientific and applied empirical studies. We employ qualitative and quantitative methods in longitudinal and cross-sectional designs, with an emphasis on studying participants in their natural environments.

For participation in our studies, we are looking for interested children, adolescents, and adults!

If you are interested, please contact the Coordination of School Psychology or the project leaders. We are participating in the shared contact database for developmental research studies. To ensure you don't miss any studies, please sign up using the contact form.

Close Enough to Crave, Far Enough to Control? A Mental Strategy Study for Food Inhibition

Why participate? We all face daily decisions about food, and sometimes controlling our responses to tempting food cues can be challenging. Mental strategies, specifically "if-then plans," can help us manage these responses. In this study, we investigate how different types of mental imagery; either vividly imagining food (Modal)or mentally creating distance from it (Amodal), affects our ability to control impulses when seeing food images. Your participation will help us understand which mental strategies work best for food-related self-control.

Participation includes:
An online computer-based task (approx. 25-30 minutes) followed by brief questionnaires about eating behavior and personality traits.

Eligible to participate:
All individuals 18 years and older who are native German speakers or fluent in German (C1 level), have normal or corrected vision, and do not have a current or past eating disorder.

In our studies, we examine the experiences of children, adolescents, and adults in school, including negative experiences such as bullying, violence, and discrimination. Discrimination refers to unjust treatment based on characteristics like gender, sexual orientation, or origin. Our goal is to highlight these experiences and provide better support to those affected. Participating in such studies can trigger negative feelings and stress. In such cases, please contact our coordination office (+49 7071/29-75544 or +49 7071/29-75546) or the study's responsible person. We can provide you with contact information for psychosocial counseling centers in the area that offer free counseling and support.
