Martin Stolpe Andersen

Martin Stolpe Andersen serves as a Visiting associate professor and External Lecturer on the Study board of Psychology at the University of Copenhagen, and is also a Guest Researcher at the Department of Public Health, Copenhagen Health Complexity Center. His work focuses on the measurement of psychological constructs in higher education, particularly related to cognitive load theory and psychometric validation.

His primary research interests include:

• Advanced psychometric methods (item response theory, Rasch models, Structural Equation Modeling)
• Measurement invariance across gender, academic discipline, and cultural contexts
• Cognitive load assessment in virtual and physical learning environments
• Development and validation of psychological measurement scales
• Applications of educational technology in science instruction

Dr. Andersen's research program examines whether psychological measurement scales maintain validity across different demographic variables and time in Danish higher education contexts. His interdisciplinary work bridges educational psychology with clinical assessment, as evidenced by publications spanning cognitive load theory, psychiatric recovery measurement, and child mental health assessment tools.

His scientific contributions demonstrate significant impact across multiple domains:

• Development of validated cognitive load measurement instruments for diverse educational settings
• Applications of immersive technologies (like head-mounted displays) for enhancing science education
• Adaptation of clinical assessment tools for cross-cultural and developmental contexts
• Methodological advancements in scale validation and measurement invariance testing
