Further Information
My research focus lies in the intersections of digitalization, social interaction, and well-being. I am particularly interested in how modern technologies shape social interactions and what effects this has on well-being. In addition, I examine individual and contextual factors that may influence these processes. Methodologically, I mainly employ experimental approaches in combination with virtual reality technologies.
► Digitalization and well-being
► Social interactions in the digital age
► Experimental designs (primarily using virtual reality)
VR Job Talks (currently ongoing)
This project investigates how people behave and respond during conversations with virtual agents. In the study, participants interact with a digital person created using virtual reality technology.
