Prof. Dr. Michaela Riediger

Michaela Riediger is chair of the Department of Developmental Psychology at the University of Jena and director of the Center for Lifespan Developmental Science. Among her research interests are the development of socio-emotional and self-regulatory experiences and competencies from late childhood to very old age, and their implications for developmental regulation in other domains of functioning, such as health. Unique features of her methodological approach are the combination of ambulatory assessment methodologies, which allow measurements of experiences, cognitive capacity, and physiological processes in daily-life contexts, with behavior observations and well-controlled experimental paradigms.
