Courses
The Research Forum supports students in developing a master's thesis project at the intersection of psychology and sustainability. Students will learn about possible thesis topics in psychology and sustainability at Leuphana, connect with potential supervisors, develop their research ideas, gain input on psychological research methods and project management, and receive feedback from researchers and peers throughout the thesis development process.
CONTENT
The module introduces students to applied psychology in the areas of work-/organizational-/economic-, health-/clinical-, and educational psychology. It addresses key societal challenges (e.g., digitalization, demographic change, integration, sustainability) via case studies, discussion of research, interventions, and/or exercises.
Topic
This seminar covers a range of topics related to the intersection of psychology and health in different areas of life, including the workplace. The seminar entails analysis and discussion of recent studies in the field of health psychology and their implications for applied psychology. Discussions of cases and practical applications as well as with guest speakers and practitioners in the field complete the course.
This is a hands-on seminar and students will make choices on the specific topics covered by choosing empirical papers and preparing a presentation. Possible topics include:
• Health behaviors (e.g., exercise, nutrition, smoking) and their psychological determinants
• Factors influencing adherence to medical recommendations
• Coping with chronic illness and disability
• Age- or sex- or gender-related health issues and interventions
• Cultural or socioeconomic factors influencing health outcomes
• The placebo effect and its implications (e.g., for homeopathy)
• Mobile apps, wearables, and digital tools for health monitoring and behavior change
• Environmental psychology and its impact on health
• Presenteeism
• Workplace safety

Work confronts workers with various demands. Some of these demands even force them to cross personal boundaries (e.g., when workers face health threats on a daily basis or have to violate personal principles).
In small groups, students will examine how workers cope with such extreme demands and which resources they need to cope with them. For that purpose, students will conduct a daily diary study. This course consists of the following ten parts:
(1) discussing relevant literature of occupational health psychology
(2) identifying a research question
(3) deriving hypotheses
(4) getting to know research designs in occupational health psychology
(5) applying a diary study design
(6) implementing and conducting an empirical research project using a daily diary study
(7) collecting field data
(8) analyzing the data
(9) evaluating the results
(10) presenting the findings
