Her dissertation project examines socially deviant behaviors and their co-occurrence within diverse groups, spanning community samples to offenders. She aims at identifying potential predictors of socially deviant conduct, with particular emphasis on facets of self-regulation and morality. Through this endeavor, she pursues her primary goal of deriving recommendations aimed at both prevention and the development of efficient intervention strategies to ultimately mitigate crime and reoffending rates.Cornelia Sindermann is the Independent Research Group Leader of the Computational Digital Psychology team within the Interchange Forum for Reflecting on Intelligent Systems, University of Stuttgart, Germany. She studies how interactions between individuals’ characteristics and online platforms shape how information is cognitively processed and how this, in turn, impacts political opinion formation.Christian Montag works at the intersection of psychology, neuroscience, behavioral economics and computer science. He is particularly interested in digital phenotyping, mobile sensing and digital biomarkers. Moreover, he studies technological use disorders and works towards an understanding on how social media can be improved.
