What is my role within CATALPA?

As a doctoral researcher in social psychology, I work in the junior research group Stereotype Threat and in the DECIDE - Diversity project. My research focuses on the effects of choice opportunities on the fulfillment of basic needs of students in distance education. I pay particular attention to the influence of stereotypes and diversity.


Why CATALPA?

As a member of CATALPA, I have the chance to link basic research with practical application all while exchanging ideas with experts from various disciplines. My personal goal is to help ensure that distance learning environments optimally support the motivation, performance, and learning of students from diverse backgrounds.
