Tilmann Betsch: I am interested
in understanding how individuals make conscious and unconscious
decisions. Among others, my research addresses the following questions:
How does the cognitive system processes and integrates choice relevant
information such as goals, values and probabilistic cues? How do
people make qualitative and quantitative judgments? How do people
form attitudes towards objects and behavioural option? How does
experience influences preference formation and routinization? What
are the processes behind intuitive decisions? How do automatic and
deliberate processes help us adapting to changing environments?

Bettina Rockenbach: My main research
focus is on institutions fostering cooperation in social dilemma
situations and their endogenous choice and development. In interdisciplinary
research groups we conduct experimental as well as (game) theoretic
research on this topic. In addition I am interested in (incomplete)
contracts in an inter-cultural perspective, labor relations and
various problems from industrial organization. |

Johannes Jaenicke:
By the means of microeconometric methods, I analyse socioeconomically
relevant topics such as education and labour market decisions. Additionally,
I use univariate and multivariate time series methods to analyse
the transmission of energy prices and interest rates. |

organizational
development
organizational consultation
intergovernmental negotiations
policy innovation
agent-based social simulation
|
|
Nicole J. Saam: My first research
focus is on organizations striving for organisational development
and change. Often consultancies are involved in these processes.
We conduct qualitative studies with semi-structured interviews on
this topic. Research questions are: how do organizations achieve
major organizational change? How do consultants work? My second
research focus is on intergovernmental negotiations and on policy
innovations. Here, we apply agent-based social simulation. Based
on empirical data we simulate negotiations and policy innovation
on the computer. Research questions are: how can we explain the
outcome of intergovernmental negotiations? How can we explain the
spread of policy innovations? |

the development of expertise can be modeled and measured; how members
of educational institutions can be motivated to adopt innovations |

career development in childhood
career decision making as interpersonal
regulation process
settings of career counseling and decision-making
career exploration across the life-span
|
|
Bärbel Kracke:
My research interests address social and institutional influences
on the career development of individuals under the perspective of
self-regulation. The main focus is on antecedents and consequences
of career exploration across the life-span and in several contexts,
such as, school, family, and conselling settings. Current PhD theses
examine the structure of children´s knowledge about prerequisites
of individual career development, the cooperation of parents and
teachers in school-based career instruction, the mutual influence
of career-related activities of adolescents and their parents during
the transition from school to university. |

Publication biases and methods for their

Risk perception
|
|
Frank Renkewitz: My research
currently focuses on decision strategies, determinants of the selection
of such strategies and the development of empirical methods for
their identification. In particular, I am interested in the role
of memory processes in decision making. Additionally, I investigate
heuristic processes and the discounting of heuristic information
in frequency and probability estimates. Moreover, I am interested
in publication biases in the field of psychology and statistical
methods for their detection. |

Judgment and decision making
Intuition and affect-based decision making
indivdiual differences: decision styles
Risk perception and communication

Cornelia
Betsch: My current interests are especially in the development
of assessing individual differences in decision styles (e.g. intuitive
and deliberate decision making) and the consequences of using
these styles. Moreover, I am interested in risk perception and
communication in the domain of preventive health decision making
(e.g. vaccination decisions); I focus on risk-as-feelings processes
in the perception of helath messages.
