Forschungsinteressen
Ich benutze einen psychobiologisches Framework, um die zugrunde liegenden Mechanismen und die adaptive Funktion von sozialen Beziehungen und Prosozialität in Tiermodellen, von Primaten bis hin zu Schweinen, zu untersuchen. Meine Forschung untersucht, warum Individuen in ihrer Neigung zur Partnerschaft und Zusammenarbeit mit anderen variieren und wie diese Variation ihre Fitness beeinflusst. Diese Arbeit hat breitere Auswirkungen auf das Verständnis der Entwicklung der Zusammenarbeit und der Mechanismen, mit denen die soziale Unterstützung gesundheitliche Vorteile bietet.
Forschungsschwerpunkte:
- Vergleichende Modelle von Prosozialität und Empathie bei Nutztieren
- Verständnis des Zusammenhangs zwischen sozialen Beziehungen, Stress und Gesundheitsergebnissen
- Untersuchung der hormonellen Grundlagen sozialer Beziehungen und Kooperationen
