Abteilung Psychologische Diagnostik und Differentielle Psychologie

Aufgabe der Psychologischen Diagnostik ist es, interindividuelle Unterschiede sowie intraindividuelle Veränderungen menschlichen Verhaltens und Erlebens zuverlässig so zu erfassen, dass Aussagen über zukünftiges Verhalten und Erleben, sowie zu erwartende Veränderungen in definierten Situationen möglich werden. Ziel dieser Bemühungen ist es, bei unterschiedlichen Handlungs- und Behandlungsmöglichkeiten wissenschaftlich fundierte Entscheidungshilfen bereitszustellen.

Die Differentielle Psychologie befasst sich mit der Beschreibung der Unterschiedlichkeiten und Besonderheiten von Individuen hinsichtlich ihrer Fähigkeiten, ihres Verhaltens, Erlebens, Handelns, und ihrer Entwicklung, sowie mit deren Erklärung durch biologische und soziale Einflüsse.
