The Dark Triad and the PID-5 Maladaptive Personality Traits: Accuracy, Confidence and Response Bias in Judgments of Veracity
(2017-09-21)
The Dark Triad traits—narcissism, Machiavellianism and psychopathy—have been found to be associated with intra- or interpersonal deception production frequency. This cross-sectional study (N = 207) investigated if the Dark Triad traits are also associated with deception detection accuracy, as implicated by the recent conception of a deception-general ability. To investigate associations between maladaptive personality space and deception, the PID-5 maladaptive personality traits were included to investigate if besides ...

Leading for innovation: an empirical analysis of ambidextrous leadership
(2019-10)
This dissertation investigates leadership in innovation processes. Based on ambidexterity theory, the focus is on the contradictory aspects of creativity and implementation within the innovation process and how leaders can support employees in addressing them. 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 ...

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). ...

Meta-Heuristics in Short Scale Construction: Ant Colony Optimization and Genetic Algorithm
(2016-11-28)
The advent of large-scale assessment, but also the more frequent use of longitudinal and multivariate approaches to measurement in psychological, educational, and sociological research, caused an increased demand for psychometrically sound short scales. Shortening scales economizes on valuable administration time, but might result in inadequate measures because reducing an item set could: a) change the internal structure of the measure, b) result in poorer reliability and measurement precision, c) deliver measures ...

Hierbei kommen wesentliche ...

Förderung des Leseverständnisses durch Lesestrategien: Eine Interventionsstudie in der Grundschule
(2015-01-23)
Anliegen dieser Dissertation ist die Untersuchung des Einflusses eines Lesestrategietrainings auf die Entwicklung des Leseverständnisses in den Klassen 2 und 4. In einer experimentellen Studie mit Prä-Post-Test-Design wurde die Wirksamkeit eines 25 Sitzungen umfassenden Trainings der Strategien Vorhersagen, kleinschrittiges Wiederholen und Zusammenfassen den Effekten einer lesefernen Kontrollbedingung gegenübergestellt. Die Lesestrategien wurden peergestützt vermittelt, d. h. in Dyaden aus einem leseschwächeren und ...

Verbal proficiency as fitness indicator: Experimental and comparative research on the evolutionary psychology of language and verbal displays
(2011-10-26)
Summary: Recent research on the evolution of language and verbal displays (e.g., Miller, 1999, 2000a, 2000b, 2002) indicated that language is not only the result of natural selection but serves as a sexually-selected fitness indicator that is an adaptation showing an individual’s suitability as a reproductive mate. Thus, language could be placed within the framework of concepts such as the handicap principle (Zahavi, 1975). There are several reasons for this position: Many linguistic traits are highly heritable ...

Teaching quality in higher education: Do student evaluation of teaching questionnaires allow a reliable and valid assessment of teaching quality?
(2018-06-18)
Improving teaching quality is a relevant topic in society to nurture the students’ innate potential in the best possible way. One often applied tool for assessing teaching quality in higher education is student evaluations of teaching (SETs) that are used as a criterion for making important decisions in higher education such as employing teachers, distributing funds, and making changes in the curriculum. Despite their effect on decisions it is relatively unclear if SETs are a valid and reliable assessment of teaching ...

Audio-Visual Information Processing across different age groups
(2016-11-14)
People possess different sensory modalities to detect, interpret, and efficiently act upon various events in a complex and dynamic environment (Fetsch, DeAngelis, & Angelaki, 2013). Much empirical work has been done to understand the interplay of modalities (e.g. audio-visual interactions, see Calvert, Spence, & Stein, 2004). On the one hand, integration of multimodal input as a functional principle of the brain enables the versatile and coherent perception of the environment (Lewkowicz & Ghazanfar, 2009). On the ...
