About me

I’m an applied social psychologist with two hearts beating in my chest. First, I’m a work-family researcher with a passion on the positive side of juggling multiple roles and how to make that happen – What can individuals do? What can organizations do? When and How do we transfer experiences from one role to another? Second, I’m an enthusiast in team processes and, particularly, in team identification. Here, I’m most interested in the contingency factors that help team identification boost health and performance, such as team norms. To answer my research questions, I employ a broad range of research designs, including laboratory and online experiments, longitudinal studies, diary studies, and, most recently, video analyses.
