Who am I? (And why am I doing this?)

Welcome! My name is Felix and I am a motivational psychologist. I got into psychological research because I wanted to know how our personal desires/motives affect how we think, how we act, and what values we hold dear. Here I am particulary interested in the influence of the power motive (i.e., people's different desires to have influence on others). Have a look at my research interests in more detail here. If you have any questions, quarrels or would like to work with me on a project then please do not hesitate to get in touch: felix.suessenbach@psy.lmu.de
