Title Methods seminar diary studies and the science of good and bad days at work (supplementary seminar)
Description Days are fundamental building blocks of the human experience of time. Work is usually organized in working days and shifts, and good and bad days can have a long-term impact on the well-being, satisfaction and productivity of working people. This seminar has two objectives: The first is to gain an understanding of the methodology of diary studies used in research to investigate daily experience. The second aim is to gain a sound understanding of which factors make a working day a good day and which make it a bad day.

In the seminar, students apply the methodological, statistical, and content knowledge they have acquired directly by planning and conducting a diary study on the topics of occupational experiences and well-being, analysing the data collected using appropriate methods, and writing up the results in a short research report. In addition to the theoretical and practical skills acquired, this also enables students to gain an insight into the entire process of a research project in the field of applied psychological research.

Parts of the seminar will be held in English. Students can choose to write their research report in German.
