Research Intern in Clinical Psychology (20%)
As an intern, you will be an active member of our research team and contribute to ongoing research
projects. Your tasks include supporting the planning and implementation of empirical studies, such as
preparing study materials, recruiting participants, or preparing, collecting, and managing data.
You will work on the following research project:
Identifying intervention targets for individual well-being in daily life (Your Daily Life Study): This
project investigates which factors influence well-being in everyday life and how these can be assessed
reliably and efficiently in populations facing elevated psychological demands. The study integrates
group-level analyses, individual-level analyses, and individuals’ subjective conceptualizations of well-
being within one empirical framework.
Participants (students, healthcare professionals, and retirees) complete an online baseline
questionnaire, followed by a two-week period of short daily assessments via smartphone (6 times per
day), and a final questionnaire. This design allows us to capture well-being and related processes as
they unfold in everyday life.
The goal of the project is to better understand which factors are most relevant for individual well-being
and to inform the development of more targeted and practical approaches to promote well-being.
As an intern, you will support the coordination and implementation of the study, including participant
recruitment, communication with participants, monitoring data collection, and preparing datasets for
analysis.
