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 ...

Factors that affect primary school children’s sustainable behavior in a resource dilemma
(2019)
Acting ecologically sustainably and not exhausting natural resources is becoming more and more important. Sustainable behavior can be investigated within the conceptual frame of resource dilemmas, in which users share a common, slowly regenerating resource. A conflict emerges between maximizing one’s own profit and maintaining the resource for all users. Although many studies have investigated adults’ behavior in resource dilemmas, barely anything is known about how children deal with such situations and which factors ...

Mental rotation and the human body: Children's inflexible use of embodiment mirrors that of adults
(2018)
Adults’ mental rotation performance with body‐like stimuli is enhanced if these stimuli are anatomically compatible with a human body, but decreased by anatomically incompatible stimuli. In this study, we investigated these effects for kindergartners and first‐graders: When asked to mentally rotate cube configurations attached with human body parts in an anatomically compatible way, allowing for the projection of a human body, children performed better than with pure cube combinations. By contrast, when body parts ...

Wünschenswerte Erschwernisse beim Lernen
(2015)
Der Beitrag beleuchtet didaktische Maßnahmen, die unter dem Begriff „Wünschenswerte Erschwernisse“ zusammengefasst werden. Diese Maßnahmen erschweren zwar kurzfristig das Lernen, langfristig aber fördern sie das Behalten und den Transfer des Gelernten. Vier dieser wünschenswerten Erschwernisse sind empirisch besonders gut belegt: 1) Das verteilte Lernen, 2) das verschachtelte Lernen, 3) der Testungseffekt und 4) der Generierungseffekt. Zu jeder dieser wünschenswerten Erschwernisse werden aktuelle Forschungsergebnisse ...

More specifically, this dissertation takes a within-process perspective looking at the influences of leader behaviors depending on different situations within the innovation process. The ambidextrous leadership model provides concrete leader behaviors defined ...

Different forms of life satisfaction and their relation to affectivity
(2016-05-03)
Aims: The present study is aimed at studying the research question whether high satisfaction levels achieved through either (1) the fact that one's quality of life is truly satisfactory (i.e., stabilized life satisfaction) or through (2) adapting a more favorable perception of one's quality of life by lowering standards (i.e., resigned life satisfaction) are associated with different levels of positive affect (PA) and negative affect (NA) when compared to each other but also when compared to dissatisfied individuals.

Transpersonale Dimensionen in der Pädagogik
(2008-04-09)
Die vorliegende Dissertation stellt einen Überblick dar, der theoretische und praktische Ansätze und Modelle untersucht, die transpersonale Dimensionen enthalten. Die transpersonale Psychologie entwickelte sich aus der Humanistischen Psychologie, die in der Mitte des letzten Jahrhunderts in Amerika entstand und sich in den 60er und 70er Jahren in Europa etablierte. Der Schwerpunkt der transpersonalen Psychologie liegt nicht primär auf menschlichen Bedürfnissen und Interessen, sondern bezieht neben der gesellschaftlichen ...

On Measuring Some of the People Some of the Time with Some of the Items: The Search for Stability and Variation in Item Sets
(2019-02)
Psychological assessment is shaped by the items used and the persons assessed. Both items and persons typically represent a random or representative sample of a much larger item and person pool. However, most of the focus on psychological measurement rests on the person sampling side. Item sampling from larger item pools is still a black box. In this dissertation, I present the advantages of new state-of-the-art item and person sampling procedures in the context of personality development research (manuscript 1). ...

Empathie in der Psychotherapie aus neuer Perspektive
(2009-02-25)
Die traditionellen Empathiekonzepte (z. B. Rogers, Kohut), die in der Psychotherapie bis heute
maßgebend sind, werden einer gründlichen Überprüfung unterzogen. Dabei ergeben sich drei
wesentliche Kritikpunkte: (1) Empathische Vorgänge in der Psychotherapie werden als einseitige
Prozesse verstanden; der Therapeut fühlt sich in die Klientin ein, nicht auch umgekehrt. (2) Empathie
wird in Cartesianischer Tradition schwerpunktmäßig als kognitive Leistung gesehen; ein körperloser
Geist vergegenwärtigt sich die mentalen ...
