Current studies

We are currently conducting the studies listed below. Most of the studies take place at our Psychological Institute in Oerlikon, where children can watch short films or try things out for themselves. There are also studies that consist solely of a questionnaire and can be completed online from home.

You can find out more about the individual studies by clicking on the study titles linked below. If you have any questions about one of these studies or would like to participate, simply send us an email at: weltentdecker@psychologie.uzh.ch
