Dr. Georg Halbeisen

„You are a theorist, not a practitioner. “

I am pretty sure that someone wasn‘t trying to compliment me when I applied for a position at a large financial institution back in 2005. Unbeknownst to them, however, their assessment was a primer of my interest in science and psychological research.

At the department of social psychology, my research concerns attitude formation during early childhood, the automaticity of evaluative learning, and psychological distance. If you are interested in my research, seek supervision of a B.Sc. or M.Sc. thesis, or are simply curious, you can see the papers below*, take a look at my CV, or contact me directly by email.
