Voice to the focus area Psychological Analysis of Social Dynamics

Richard Rau

I work as…

…research associate at the Health and Medical University in Potsdam.

Here, I deal with…

...the question of when and for whom personality impressions are accurate or distorted when getting to know someone. I also give seminars in the field of psychological assessment.

In a current project, for example, I work on…

...an instrument with which one can record the unconscious tendency to form positively or negatively biased personality impressions.

In my leisure time…

...I am preparing to launch a start-up that resulted from a research project on a quiz app to test one's knowledge of human nature (https://whoknows.uni-muenster.de).

I still benefit from my time as research associate in Münster…

...because there I learned to implement my own projects from the idea to the final product in a professional and well-equipped team.

The Master PASD is a perfect basis for the work in my area…

...because it teaches precise thinking and reasoning about psychological phenomena and provides one with the necessary methodological tools to do so.
