Dr. Manja Vollmann

 

 

I completed my PhD in psychology at the University of Greifswald, Germany in 2007. My main research focus is on antecedents and processes which promote well-being and health in chronically ill and healthy persons. More specifically, I examine the health effects of illness representations and personal resources such as optimism and I explore possible mediators of the health effects, in particular social support processes and coping strategies.
