Susanne Scheibe holds the chair for “Lifespan development and organizational behavior’. She is interested in how emotional competencies and daily emotion/stress dynamics change across adulthood and how age-related changes affect people in work settings. She combines experimental, longitudinal and experience-sampling methods to understand the strengths and vulnerabilities that different age groups bring to the workplace and how work experiences in turn impact people’s emotional development over time.

Bertus studies individual differences in personality and happiness and their lifespan trajectories and links to affect/emotion/mood dynamics (internalizing problems) and the environment in which one lives and grows, especially social networks, daily activities, adverse events, and culture. Currently he works on the interaction between personal strengths and vulnerabilities in his Veni project on happy neurotics and the studies HowNutsAreTheDutch and Ieder Kind Is Anders.
