She studies the impact of personality and situational factors on social behavior. She is interested in how individual views and situational constraints shape social interaction - and how social interactions in turn affect well-being and effectiveness. She has developed qualitative and quantitative tools to measure self-concept, (implicit) attitudes, and interactive behavior. In using laboratory research as well as naturalistic studies she aims at better understanding the interplay of self-views and self-presentation with well-being and performance. She is also the University's officer for gender fairness and served as the University's Vice President (in the field of research and academic careers) from 2012 to 2015. She has been a professor of psychology at Chemnitz University of Technology from 1999-2011 and a visiting scholar at the University of Virginia, Case Western Reserve University, Universidad de Huelva, and the University of Southampton before she joined the University of Bamberg in 2011. Her current research interests includes personality differences and self-presentation as well as social interaction in face-to-face and virtual environments. Prof. Schütz authored or
