Robin Schrödter

Robin Schrödter is a researcher at the German Sport University Cologne affiliated with the Institute of Exercise Training and Sport Informatics in the Cognition in Team Sports section. Holding a Dr. rer. nat. degree, Schrödter focuses on decision-making processes in sports contexts, particularly examining referee decisions, empathy dynamics, and training interventions for athletic performance enhancement.

Educational background includes a doctoral degree (Dr. rer. nat.) in sports science or psychology-related discipline, though specific institutions and dates remain undocumented in available sources.

Research spans decision-making psychology, training methodologies, and personality factors including sexism's impact on judgment. Key investigations examine expertise, impulsivity, and intuition in decision quality, contextual empathy variations, and coaching interventions like wingwave®. Work consistently employs naturalistic experiments and statistical analysis to address inclusion challenges and situational influences in sports environments.

Recent publications demonstrate strong integration of cognitive psychology with sports applications, emphasizing empirical validation of decision-training tools and real-world performance under pressure. The research trajectory shows increasing focus on referee competence development and context-dependent empathy in team sports settings.

Collaborative projects include a third-party funded initiative (August 2023-February 2024) developing stress tests for performance diagnostics and video analysis systems for referee decision training. Schrödter maintains extensive collaborations with Stefanie Klatt (11 publications, 1 project), Karsten Schul (4 publications, 1 project), and Frowin Fasold (3 publications, 1 project) within the university's research ecosystem.
