Nonverbal synchrony between individuals has a robust relation to the positive aspects of relationships. In psychotherapy, where talking is the cure, nonverbal synchrony has been related to a positive outcome of therapy and to a stronger therapeutic alliance between therapist and client in dyadic settings. Only a few studies have focused on nonverbal synchrony in multi-actor therapy conversations. Here, we studied the synchrony of head and body movements in couple therapy, with four participants present (spouses and two therapists). We analyzed more than 2000min of couple therapy videos from 11 couple therapy cases using Motion Energy Analysis and a Surrogate Synchrony (SUSY), a procedure us…

Sexual narcissism and its association with sexual and well-being outcomes

2020

Abstract Theories on narcissism are traditionally closely related to sexuality. Most research on the association between narcissism and sexual behavior, however, has focused on harmful/maladaptive outcomes. The aim of the present two studies was to examine the possible health-promoting influence of both global and sexual narcissism on sexual function and genital self-image.

In the women's sample, sexual narcissism was related to a positive genital self-image. The facet sexual skill was identified as the most important predictor for sexual fun…

Herausforderungen im Lehramtsstudium: Beobachten und Reflektieren im vertrauten Terrain?

2017

Die fruhen Praktika im Lehramtsstudium sind im Kern Beobachtungspraktika, in denen die Studierenden erste Schritte in der Entwicklung einer professionellen Perspektive als Lehrkraft leisten sollen. Dabei wird ubersehen, dass Lehramtsstudierende Novizen in der Unterrichtsbeobachtung sind und als solche dazu neigen, an den oberflachlichen Sichtstrukturen zu verharren und Tiefenstrukturen von Unterricht zu ubersehen. Dabei werden ebenfalls kaum Theorie-Praxis-Bezuge hergestellt, sodass universitare Lehre und schulpraktische Erfahrung fur die Lehramtsstudierenden parallele Welten bleiben. Basierend auf den psychologischen Grundlagen menschlicher Beobachtung und Reflexion machen wir in diesem Be…
