Currently I am working on “cooperation in social groups: cheater perception and memory in intergroup contexts”, an interdisciplinary project of the RU Person Perception, the Department of Social Psychology and the Department of Personality Psychology of the University Jena. My main research interests are reactions towards deviance (especially concerning harm and intentions), morality and justice issues and their consequences for intra- and intergroup relations.
