Research
I am interested in eating behavior and emotions in everyday life. My dissertation revolved around nomothetic (experimental and naturalistic paradigms) and idiographic (N-of-1 analyzes and Just-in-Time Adaptive Interventions; JITAIs) approaches of emotional eating research across the eating disorder spectrum. My research focus still lies on emotional eating and other potential moderating factors of eating behavior in healthy, obese and eating disordered individuals. I employ smartphone-based assessment and intervention methods (EMA/ESM/AA, EMI, JITAI), experimental designs (emotion induction, picture ratings), psychophysiological measures (EMG, EOG, ECG) and clinical diagnostic interviews (SCID, EDE).
