Short CV:
Michaela Riediger received her Diploma in Psychology from Humboldt University, her doctorate from the Free University of Berlin, and her habilitation from the University Zurich. She established the Max Planck Research Group "Affect Across the Lifespan" in 2009, after having worked with Paul B. Baltes, Alexandra M. Freund, and Ulman Lindenberger. She investigates age-related differences in affective experiences and affective competencies, focusing primarily on the age range from adolescence to old age. Her research combines ecological momentary assessments, such as experience sampling and ambulatory bio-monitoring, with experimental paradigms. She is a faculty member of the International Max Planck Research School LIFE and supervises students at both undergraduate and doctoral levels.
