Research overview

Our five research focus areas include Intervention Science, Health Psychology, Digital Health, Social Interactions and Well-being. The latest research results can be found under current publications.

Currently, our research projects are investigating which factors promote the well-being as well as the success and implementation of specific treatments of test persons as well as patients. Under current research you will find our current studies, research projects and questionnaires.


Research focus

We address the human condition on the continuum between the two poles of pathology and well-being. Our research focuses on understanding the conditions and preconditions that reinforce pathological states as well as promote well-being.

We are concerned with the whole spectrum, from causes of deterioration in well-being, to factors that protect people and allow them to flourish. Our goal is to isolate functional rulesor principles that can be applied to both poles.

We try to combine basic research with practical applied science and use a variety of methods (e.g. smartphones, wearables oder web applications) to get closer to our research goal.
