Bachelor and Master theses

Research in the Department of General Psychology and Methodology focuses on a wide range of basic psychological processes. Specifically, we are interested in processes that deal with attention, perception, action, and memory.

Core topics here are, for example, questions of action control (action-perception integration), selective attention (ignoring irrelevant information), memory (long-term and working memory), the biopsychology of stress, multisensory processing (object localization), and applied basic research (optimization of applied processes).

A qualification thesis in our department typically involves conducting an experiment, its analysis and, its interpretation. The results of this process are then written up in a thesis following the current university (see University Examination Office) and American Psychological Association requirements (see Guide).

In general, we would be delighted if you suggested your own (creative) experimental ideas for a qualification thesis. All theses can be supervised / written in German or English.

If you have a general interest in writing a thesis in our department, please contact our secretary's office.

If you would like to be supervised by Prof. Frings, please contact our secretary's office instead.
