4th German Congress Traffic Psychology & Doctoral Workshop - Our Contributions

Finally, the time had come again - the division 'Traffic Psychology' of the German Psychological Society (DGPs) met for the 4th Congress from September 11th to September 12th, 2023. Over two days, the latest research was presented and discussed at the Hochschule der Medien in Stuttgart. Our department was well represented with a total of six contributions. The abstracts will be published shortly and linked here.

Subsequently, the young researchers had the opportunity to present their research projects and initial results at the doctoral workshop. Many thanks to the team at Hochschule der Medien and the Traffic Psychology division for organizing and hosting the conference. Here is an overview:
