Research activities:

Anxiety:        
Do high anxious people have a memory-bias or an attentional-bias for threatening stimuli? There are several experimental studies in literature; some have shown such a bias, others not. In my research, I want to investigate this topic with meta-analytic methods both for impicit and explicit memory processes and dot-probe and stroop-tasks.

Disgust:
Disgust is a neglected emotion in research. Disgust can be found in several mental disorders, e.g. eating disorders or anxiety disorders (like specific phobias, OCD). I am interested in the question whether the cognitive characteristics of disgust are the same as in anxiety. At the moment we are investigating different disgust domains. For example, we carry out a study with vegetarians. Another aim is the investigation of processes involved in disgusting decision making (e.g. what would you do if your ring is fallen into the toilet?). First results are very interesting...
