Research
Main research topics
Stress research – Identification and description of psychological and biological determinants of individual stress regulation
Research aims
- To identify mechanisms explaining how stress-related health disturbances develop and to identify psychological and biological factors of inter- and intraindividual stress vulnerability
- Integration of psychobiological and work psychological research methodology to assess differential stress patterns under chronic work stress
Disciplines
- Psychological Diagnostics, Medical Psychology, Health Psychology, Biological Psychology
- Related to: Clinical Psychology, Psychosomatics, Public Health, Work- & Organizational Psychology, Educational Psychology
The overarching research topic is the phenomenon of stress. Stress and stress-related diseases are major problemsof our modern and industrialized societies and, not least, cause enormous economic costs. Knowledge on psychological and biological mechanisms how stress increase the risk, for example for the development or progression of depression or coronary heart disease (CHD), however, is still fragmentary. Therefore, our aim is to identify relevant psychobiological mechanisms of stress regulation in an interdisciplinary and multi-methodological approach. Beside others, we are interested in research questions like the following: Which psychic, neuronal, endocrine and immunological processes play an important role in the development of stress-related diseases? Why do some people develop an illness or disease under conditions of chronic stress while others don’t? Which factors influence the individual stress vulnerability and stress resilience? Do, for example, factors like gender, age, personality traits or situational characteristics like the psychosocial work environment contribute significantly? Major research topics are thus the phenomenon of stress, the subjective experience of stress, psychobiological aspects of stress, health consequences of stress, and diagnostic aspects. Finally, a special focus lies on the issue of stress at work.
