Voice to the focus area Psychological Analysis of Social Dynamics

Lucas Kaup

I work as…

…Junior Psychometrician at ELIGO.

Here, I deal with (among others)…

...the topics of test construction (IRT, measurement invariance analyses, confirmatory factor analyses, studies on culture and gender fairness, etc.),

…the mobile capability of psychological test procedures, automated report generation via R and LaTeX,

…the implementation of test procedures in various technical systems (interface with IT development)

…the most diverse personnel diagnostic issues.

In a current project, for example, we work on…

...provide 180-degree feedback for managers in our online assessment system and design a report using R and LaTeX that presents the results in a comprehensible and graphically appealing way for participants.

I still benefit from my time as student and tutor in Münster…

...because I can practically apply and further develop many of the skills I acquired there (e.g., knowledge of R, knowledge of personnel diagnostics, test construction, statistical methods, etc.).

The Master PASD is a perfect basis for the work in my area…

...because the statistical methodological competence taught here is used on a daily basis and also facilitates familiarization with new analyses that may not have been dealt with in depth in this master's focus area

…because the analysis of social dynamics is of essential importance, especially in consulting in the areas of leadership and teamwork, and provides helpful insights from which our clients can benefit.
