Key Research Areas:

Suffering Research

My empirical research focuses on how suffering can be transformed into a source of strength and contribute to psychological growth. In collaboration with the Human Flourishing Program, Harvard University, we identified suffering mindsets (facilitative vs. debilitative), for which we developed the Suffering Mindset Scale and a self-help workbook.

Mental Health

According to the Maintainable Positive Mental Health Theory, mental health is fundamentally based on internal psychological competencies such as resilience, social efficacy, self-regulation, and the capacity to experience positive emotions. Mental health is not just a temporary state but a way of functioning that can be maintained over time, relying on how well these personal resources work together. My research contributes to the scientific foundation and validation of this multidimensional model and its measuring instrument, the Mental Health Test.

Gerontology Research

I participate in the Semmelweis Study, a longitudinal workplace cohort study investigating the psychosocial, medical, and gerontological factors of healthy aging, as well as identifying potential intervention points.
