Research

Since my bachelor's studies, I am interested in eating behavior. For my master thesis, I researched the interactive influences of social and emotional context factors on eating behavior in every day life applying ecological momentary assessment (EMA). My research focus still lies on emotional eating and potential moderating factors of the emotion-eating relationship in healthy, obese and eating disordered individuals. I employ smartphone based technology (EMA, EMI, JITAI), experimental designs (emotion induction, picture rating), psychophysiological measures (EMG, EOG, ECG) and clinical diagnostic interviews (SCID, EDE).
