Translating research into interventions is a main focus at the working group of sport psychology at TUM. The areas covered are performance psychology, clinical psychology, and development and validation of assessment instruments. Traditionally, a major area of interest is motivation and volition as well as personality assessment. Recently, embodiment as well as burnout and depression have become major research areas. We employ a multi-method approach using experimental research, including neurophysiological methods as well as survey research. Cooperation with major sport and health organisations is part of the programme.
