What Do Coaches Actually Do? A Context-Sensitive Approach to Workplace Coaching
(2021)
Vor dem Hintergrund einer noch wenig fortgeschrittenen Forschung zu Wirkfaktoren von Coaching, zielt diese Dissertation darauf ab, die in neueren Forschungsarbeiten skizzierten Forschungslücken hinsichtlich Coach-Verhalten und Kontextfaktoren zu schließen. Um den Blickwinkel auf relevante Kontextfaktoren zu erweitern, liegt der Fokus auf dem Verhalten von Coaches in zwei verschiedenen Arten von Kontexten: dem Beginn von Coaching-Prozessen (d.h. der Eingangsdiagnostik) und Coaching für Gründer*innen.

The Acceptance of Serious Games by Mental Health Service Users and Mental Health Professionals: An International Comparison Study
(2021)
Research aim. This study investigates which determinants predict the intention to use SG in psychotherapeutic settings among both relevant application groups: mental health service users (individuals with psychotherapy experience either currently or in the past) and mental health professionals. Since ethnicity, socioeconomic status, and culture highly interplay with (e-mental health) technology uptake (Clough et al., 2019), SG acceptability was assessed in several countries (N = 13) by particularly considering the ...

Sound Matters
(2021-08)
Language sounds, i.e., phonemes, are believed not to bear any meaning themselves, only at the word level, meaning is created. However, numerous studies over the past 100 years have revealed iconic relationships, i.e., a certain fit, between language sounds and word meanings, with regard to several semantic dimensions, such as size, shape, brightness, or distance. This suggests iconicity as a functional mechanism in language. To examine the underlying cognitive processes, a holistic operationalization of iconicity in ...

Implementing Distributed Practice in Statistics Courses: Benefits for Retention and Transfer
(2020-11-18)
The present study investigated the effect of distributed versus crammed practice before a course deadline on the retention and transfer of knowledge, and whether learner characteristics moderate the effect. In Experiment 1, only 41% (N = 38) of the initially enrolled students worked the voluntary but recommended practice tasks. Moreover, markedly fewer students did so in the distributed condition (12%) than the crammed practice condition (29%). In Experiment 2, working the practice tasks was mandatory and more students ...

How to promote relational processing while learning with expository texts
(2020-11)
Das Ziel der vorliegenden Arbeit besteht darin, Empfehlungen zu geben, wie man die Inferenzbildung beim Lesen von expositorischen Texten fördern kann. Wir haben zwei Lernmethoden konzipiert, um die tiefe Verarbeitung (insbesondere) bei schwachen Lesern zu fördern – Verschachteln von Informations-einheiten und Generieren kausaler Kohäsion. Beide Lernmethoden sollten die Sichtbarkeit von Kohäsionslücken erhöhen und die Abhängigkeit vom domänenspezifischen Vorwissen beim Schließen dieser Lücken reduzieren.

Caught in the Act: Predicting Cheating in Unproctored Knowledge Assessment
(2020-05-20)
Cheating is a serious threat in unproctored ability assessment, irrespective of countermeasures taken, anticipated consequences (high vs. low stakes), and test modality (paper-pencil vs. computer-based). In the present study, we examined the power of (a) self-report-based indicators (i.e., Honesty-Humility and Overclaiming scales), (b) test data (i.e., performance with extremely difficult items), and (c) para data (i.e., reaction times, switching between browser tabs) to predict participants’ cheating behavior. To ...

On the Trail of Creativity: Dimensionality of Divergent Thinking and its Relation with Cognitive Abilities, Personality, and Insight
(2020-12-02)
Divergent thinking (DT) is an important constituent of creativity that captures aspects of fluency and originality. The literature lacks multivariate studies that report relationships between DT and its aspects with relevant covariates, such as cognitive abilities, personality traits (e.g. openness), and insight. In two multivariate studies (N = 152 and N = 298), we evaluate competing measurement models for a variety of DT tests and examine the relationship between DT and established cognitive abilities, personality ...

Towards A Better Understanding of Workplace Coaching: On Goal Activities, Exploration Practices, and Coaches’ Life Satisfaction
(2020)
Whereas there is a high and ever-increasing demand for coaching worldwide (International Coach Federation, 2016) and meta-analytical findings suggest that coaching is generally effective (e.g., Jones et al., 2016; Sonesh, Coultas, Lacerenza et al., 2015), little is still known about standards for “good” coaching practice (e.g., Bono et al., 2009; Vandaveer et al., 2016). Across three studies, this dissertation investigates relevant facets of coaching practice. It addresses the questions of how coaches practice workplace ...

Taking a Closer Look at the Desirability of Desirable Difficulties - Additionally Focusing on Required Prerequisites, Negative Side-Effects, and Negative Consequences
(2022)
As the title of my dissertation already indicates, the main purpose of the following work was to take a closer, more thorough, and encompassing look at the desirability of desirable difficulties. The term desirable difficulties thereby subsumes varying types of difficult, demanding, and challenging learning strategies—like the application of (learning/practice) tests and generation tasks: Working on and successfully solving those difficult tasks requires more (cognitive) effort compared to working on easier learning ...
