Research Profile – Psychology

The Faculty of Psychology’s research profile is structured around four core guiding principles:

Research at the Faculty of Psychology reflects the bio-psycho-social nature of humans by

1. embracing and further developing natural and social scientific as well as humanities based approaches,
2. utilizing a pluralistic spectrum of methods,
3. maintaining an interest in relevant developments in adjacent disciplines, and
4. establishing a culture of dialogue across disciplinary and methodological boundaries through collaboration among researchers.

This approach contrasts with the majority of German-speaking universities, which primarily emphasize natural scientific perspectives in psychology.
