Beschreibung: With the rapid development of technology and ambulatory assessment methods, burst study designs wherein data are obtained across multiple time scales have become increasingly more popular in gerontopsychology research. This thesis aims to review existing studies that have a measurement-burst design and to summarize topics covered and data analytical methods that have been used. The thesis should critically reflect on the advantages and disadvantages of the research method and pinpoint limitations of the current literature. The thesis findings will be used to inform an in-house project that has a measurement burst design. The thesis will be written in English.

Beschreibung: Couples' interactions are characterized by high interdependence between the romantic partners, which manifests itself, among others, as the synchronization of partners' experience or behavior (Butler, 2011; Randall et al., 2013). Synchrony is not something per se positive or negative, but it can be an aspect of both negative/ hostile couples' interactions and positive/ supportive ones (e.g., Randall et al., 2013). However, the function of synchrony seems to vary depending on the interactional context (e.g., conflict) in which it takes place and the characteristics of this context (e.g., emotional valence) (e.g., Chen et al., 2021; Shrout et al., 2023). For example, a higher degree of synchrony during conflict has been associated with negative interaction and/ or relationship outcomes, whereas in support discussions greater synchrony has been related to positive ones (e.g., Bowen et al., 2017).
The aim of this thesis is to provide a systematic overview of empirical studies that examined 1) how synchrony in different modalities (e.g., emotional experience, behavior, physiology etc.) manifests itself during couples' support interactions across the adult lifespan and 2) the association of synchrony with other time-varying factors and interaction outcomes.
The thesis will be written in English.

Beschreibung: Recent concepts suggest that most adaptive ways of momentary emotion regulation in daily life are characterized by a flexible implementation of emotion regulation strategies adjusted to the requirements of the situation. To investigate this notion, momentary, ambulatory assessment of emotions and emotion regulation in intensive longitudinal designs is required. Furthermore, the importance of interpersonal processes for emotion regulation has been acknowledged in the literature yielding new insights in the interpersonal component of emotion regulation. The bachelor thesis aims at providing a review over these findings.

Beschreibung: With the advancement of technology and the generation gap present in the workforce, older working adults experience some challenges and barriers in their careers. The current practices and norms of the workforce do not always accommodate the needs and wishes of older employees. The current thesis will focus on the shifts in the workforce, how employers are coping with the changing demographics and how aging employees are experiencing these shifts. Cognitive, social and psychological changes that are associated with aging will be discussed in relation to productivity and satisfaction in the workplace.
This thesis has to be written in English.
