zEbra
The zEbra project focuses on the relationships between the use of social media and the well-being of children and adolescents. Measurement tools are being developed to validly record the smartphone use of different media and online social interactions of young people aged 10-14.
ViolAA
The project uses different methodological approaches (experimental vignette studies, ambulatory assessment and behavioural observations) to investigate teachers’ reactions to student misbehaviour at school.
DIALOG
The DIALOG project accompanies a 1.5-year training programme on the implementation of discovery and inquiry-based learning for early childhood educators. Various methods (e.g. video observations and smartphone-based surveys) will be used to investigate the interaction and communication between the actors and the conditions for successful implementation of the programme content.
DYNAMIC Kids
In the DYNAMIC Kids sub-project of the DYNAMIC Center, we are investigating the mental health of children and adolescents using dynamic network analyses. This takes individual processes into account. We aim to provide a better understanding of individual risk and resilience factors, which will serve as a basis for personalized interventions.
DYNAMO
The DYNAMO project investigates the association between fulfillment of basic psychological needs and motivation in children and adolescents. To that end, a measurement instrument shall be developed which allows for assessing these two constructs in these age groups.
DELTA
In the project DELTA we apply a working memory training with elementary school children. We investigate the impact of children’s daily experiences on training success, with a focus on motivation, well-being, and sleep on training days.
UPWIND
The project UPWIND investigates associations of affective, motivational, and cognitive processes in students. It specifically targets differences between children that can inform easily implemented interventions that can be tailored to individual students.
AttentionGO
In this research project developmental trajectories of children with and without ADHD symptoms will be examined by determing cognitive and emotional fluctuations, difficulties in self-regulation, and learning strategies.
SASCHA
The project SASCHA studies the adaptation of the transition from primary to secondary school. Specifically, daily academic and social challenges of the transition as well as coping mechanisms are studied.
FLUX
The project FLUX studies daily fluctuations in children’s cognitive performance in the school context.
