Psychophysiology
Psychophysiological research and diagnostics is divided into three areas:
- psychophysiological diagnostics in the laboratory,
- psychophysiological diagnostics in everyday work (“field research”),
- Vitality diagnostics - the Dresden model.
The psychophysiological laboratory has modern computer-aided methods for modeling experimental work requirements, as well as for measuring and evaluating psychophysical stress and recovery, for differential diagnostics of individual coping with stress, but also for the early detection of neurovegetative regulation disorders (neurovegetative imbalance).
Psychophysiological field research focuses on, among other things, the early detection of work-related stress and health-promoting factors, identification of persons at risk of cardiovascular diseases in the professional context, evaluation of stress and recovery in everyday work (e.g. noise-related stress in educational professions) and, as a result, the derivation in terms of occupational medicine - psychological measures for the primary, secondary and tertiary (conditional and behavioral preventive) prevention and care of professional groups.
Vitality diagnostics are used for the integrative assessment of work ability and complex health. This is a salutogenetic-oriented, health-diagnostic screening method to identify individual risks and resources, which at the same time enables statements to be made about the functional effects of lifestyle (including lack of exercise, poor eating habits, susceptibility to stress). The functionality and state of mind of a person is determined using 45 age- and gender-specific indicators from the physical, mental, emotional and social functional area.
