Member of the Everyday Media Lab
Christine Anderl joined the IWM Everyday Media lab (Junior Research Group Social Media until March 2022) as postdoctoral researcher in October 2020.
In a DFG-funded project, she investigates the benefits of professional social media use. In particular, she looks at both differences between individuals (e.g., how successful and less successful online networkers differ) and changes over time (e.g., whether transiently intensifying online networking activities leads to an increase in informational benefits and creativity). Moreover, Christine Anderl is interested in examining how digital technologies can be leveraged to improve our health and wellbeing. She is a member of the IWM ethics review board and the IWM Health Task Force.
Christine Anderl studied Psychology (LMU Munich and Université de Montréal) and Neuro-Cognitive Psychology (LMU Munich, M.Sc,) and received her doctoral degree in Psychology from the Goethe University in Frankfurt in October 2015. After working at the Decision Lab at the FernUniversität in Hagen as a postdoctoral teaching and research fellow from 2016 to 2017, she joined the Social Health Lab at the University of British Columbia in Vancouver from 2017 to 2020, funded by a Feodor-Lynen Postdoctoral Research Fellowship awarded by the Alexander von Humboldt Foundation.
