Empirical Research Project - Age-inclusive work design applying the Later Life Workplace Index: Transfer, intervention, and evaluation (Seminar)

Dozent/in: Jürgen Deller

Termin:
wöchentlich | Montag | 08:15 - 09:45 | 18.10.2021 - 04.02.2022 | C 40.255 Seminarraum

Inhalt: The course "Empirical Research Project - Age-inclusive work design applying the Later Life Workplace Index: Transfer, intervention, and evaluation" will enable students to experience all steps of a research process in applied psychology research, addressing a research question within the topic applying the Later Life Workplace Index in transfer, intervention, and evaluation. Ageing is one of the megatrends influencing the workforce of organizations. As workforce usually ages, organizations need to provide appropriate organizational processes and tools to design workplaces for all ages as individuals from age 16 into the retirement age remain part of the organizational workforce. Applying the Later Life Workplace Index (LLWI), we help organizations to be able to be attractive employers offering relevant work conditions to their age-diverse workforce. This empirical research project tries to find answers to organizations' challenges. How can organizations change processes and tools? What should be changed? And how can change be successfully implemented? Together with local and national organizations, and in cooperation with BAuA, the Berlin- and Dortmund-based Federal Institute for Occupational Safety and Health, we try to find answers to these questions. Different, self-chosen and project research questions can be addressed within this empirical research project, such as how can we change the organizational culture, adapt workplace design, or support personal development. As most organizations are German speaking, a basic command of German is advisable, however, not a prerequisite, as we will try to find roles for non-German speakers in the projects as well.

Empirical Research Project - Hybrid Work Models (Seminar)

Dozent/in: Christian Otto, Sabine Remdisch

Inhalt: Topic: The course will offer a deep dive into hybrid work. Our goal is to explore the conditions that create successful hybrid work and to assist companies in creating successful future work models. Students will gain insight into the success factors and effects of hybrid work. They will learn about the conditions and frameworks for successful organization of dislocated work culture and about the challenges and prerequisites for hybrid work, e.g. how to share ideas and how to provide collaborative, tangible tools and infrastructure. Course: This course consists of the following 10 parts: (1) discussing relevant literature of work psychology and organizational behavior research, (2) identifying a research question, (3) deriving hypotheses, (4) getting to know research designs in applied work psychology, (5) applying an experience sampling design, (6) implementing and conducting an empirical research project using the experience sampling method, (7) collecting field data, (8) analysing the data using SPSS, (9) evaluating the results, and (10) presenting the findings.

Empirical Research Project - Logging in and logging out: Telecommuters' work-home boundary strategies (Seminar)

Dozent/in: Laura Venz

Termin:
wöchentlich | Dienstag | 14:15 - 15:45 | 18.10.2021 - 04.02.2022 | C 7.320 Seminarraum

Inhalt: The course "Empirical Research Project - (Tele)commuting" will enable students to experience all steps of a research process in applied psychology research, addressing a research question within the topic "Loggin in and logging out: (Tele)commuters' strategies to start and end the workday". Topic: The Covid-19 pandemic brought a shift toward more work from home (i.e., telecommuting). While researchers quickly started to examine telecommuters' experiences at work, little is known about how telecommuters manage the blurred boundaries between their home and work domains, or how they can successfully "log in" and "log out of" work from home. In this project, we will examine research questions centering around telecommuters' (but also "normal" commuters') "commuting" experiences and strategies. Different, self-chosen research questions can be addressed within this empirical research project, such as the effects of different work-home-boundary strategies on telecommuters' well-being, job stress recovery, and performance. Course: This course consists of the following 10 parts: (1) discussing relevant literature of work psychology and organizational behavior research, (2) identifying a research question, (3) deriving hypotheses, (4) getting to know research designs in applied work psychology, (5) applying an experience sampling design, (6) implementing and conducting an empirical research project using the experience sampling method, (7) collecting field data, (8) analysing the data using SPSS, (9) evaluating the results, and (10) presenting the findings.

Empirical Research Project - Social Emotions (Seminar)

Dozent/in: Lea Boecker

Termin:
wöchentlich | Mittwoch | 12:15 - 13:45 | 18.10.2021 - 04.02.2022 | C 6.316 Seminarraum

Inhalt: The course "Empirical Research Project – Social Emotions will enable students to experience all steps of a research process in applied psychology research, addressing a research question within the topic “Social Emotions” sch as envy, schadenfreude, sympathy, and happy-for-ness. Topic When confronted with others’ fortunes and misfortunes, our emotional reactions can take various courses—ranging from empathetic (happy-for-ness, sympathy) to unempathetic emotions (envy, schadenfreude) and from prosocial (rewarding) to antisocial behavior (punishing). In this research practicum we explore the mechanisms of such emotions . Course This course consists of the following 10 parts: (1) discussing relevant theories of emotions, (2) identifying a research gap and finding interesting research questions, (3) deriving hypotheses, (4) getting to know research designs, (5) applying research methods and designs, (6) implementing and conducting a research project, (7) collecting data, (8) analyzing the data, (9) evaluating the results, and (10) presenting the findings.

Empirical Research Project - Using Humor (Seminar)

Dozent/in: Meikel Soliman

Inhalt: The course "Empirical Research Project – Using Humor" will enable students to experience all steps of a research process in applied psychology research, addressing a research question within the topic “Humor”. Topic Everyone likes to laugh and have a good time. This is why, nearly everyone would agree that humor is an essential part of our life - making life more fun. However, research indicates that as we get older, we laugh less and less. While children laugh over a hundred times a month, we, as not-laughing adults, need a few months to do that. At the same time, humor has a lot of benefits such as facilitating creativity, fostering social connection and makes us able to deal with negative life events such as death. In this research project, we will look at humor in a more detailed way and dissect it to provide us with the opportunity to use humor more in our everyday life. Course This course consists of the following 10 parts: (1) discussing relevant theories of humor, (2) identifying a research gap and finding interesting research questions, (3) deriving hypotheses, (4) getting to know research designs, (5) applying research methods and designs, (6) implementing and conducting a research project, (7) collecting data, (8) analyzing the data, (9) evaluating the results, and (10) presenting the findings.
