About me
From October 2018, Prof Dr Susanne Hardecker was employed as a substitute professor at the SRH University of Applied Sciences for the first time.
Prof Dr Susanne Hardecker successfully completed her degree in psychology at Martin Luther University Halle-Wittenberg in 2010. During her studies, she completed a research stay as a Fulbright scholar at California State University San Marcos in 2007-2008, where she studied social norms as intervention methods for health and environmental behaviour.
In 2011, she began her doctoral studies in the Department of Comparative and Developmental Psychology at the Max Planck Institute for Evolutionary Anthropology in Leipzig on the understanding of social norms in preschool children, which she successfully completed in 2014.
Prof Dr Susanne Hardecker worked as a research associate at the Max Planck Institute for Evolutionary Anthropology and conducts research on the topics of moral development and the emergence and impact of social norms.
Since 1 April 2019, she has also been working as a Professor of Methodology in Health and Social Sciences across all degree programmes.
