Continue your education during your lunch break with masterclasses from the University of Münster Professional School! Speakers provide concise information on topics from a wide range of fields. The lectures are aimed at anyone interested, professionals at all career levels and in all industries, as well as alumni and current students.
In this masterclass, Dr. Simon Breil explains what can be meaningfully understood by “social skills” and how the term can be structured in such a way that it becomes manageable in a professional context. He divides social skills into distinct sub-areas and discusses which of these are particularly relevant in different roles and situations. One focus is on how social skills manifest themselves in behavior: Which observable indicators actually indicate competence, and which are more likely to be sympathy?

CeSoS at the DPPD in Kassel
The Center for Social Skills (CeSoS) participated in five presentations at this year's DPPD conference (Differential Psychology, Personality Psychology, and Psychological Diagnostics) in Kassel. The focus was on the conceptualization, assessment, and promotion of social skills, particularly in the context of the PsychSozKomp project.
Among other things, Simon Breil advocated for a behavior-based conceptualization and assessment of social skills in a position paper, Leonie Burghoff presented a multi-source feedback system for psychotherapeutic training, and Sophia Bhatti presented findings on the fit between self-concepts and behavior in therapeutic interactions.
