Projektbeschreibung der*des Nominierenden
| Professor Oyserman is internationally known for her research on self, culture, and motivation, which she conducts within a situated cognition framework. Using experimental and field-based methods, she explores how culture and identity shape, and are shaped by, individuals' contexts, with a particular emphasis on identity-based motivation and its cognitive and behavioral consequences. Her work shows how cultural mindsets and identities can be usefully engaged to improve important life outcomes, including academic performance and mental and physical health. In Germany, she will collaborate with her host in exploring the role of deliberative and impulsive processes in identity-based motivation. |
