Research Topics

Being part of the psychology department, the research group conducts studies at the intersection of (occupational) health psychology and personality psychology, specifically in work-related well-being, emotion regulation (flexibility), recovery, mindfulness at work, resilience, and work-nonwork balance. We also focus on understanding the impact of perfectionism on work outcomes and well-being, as well as the antecedents and consequences of burnout in the workplace.

Most of our current work focuses on conducting ecological momentary assessments and interventions to capture and manipulate within-person dynamics. A methodological focus of our research is the analysis of intensive longitudinal data, dynamic structural equation modeling, and (Bayesian) psychometric modeling, including but not limited to the investigation of measurement invariance across different clustering dimensions.

Open Science

Our research group is committed to the values of open and transparent science. We pre-register almost all of our current studies and provide the materials, analysis code, and data at the Open Science Framework (OSF). By teaching psychological methods to our students, we strive to promote reproducible workflows.
