Helena Klimusová serves as Assistant Professor at the Institute of Psychology within the Faculty of Arts at Masaryk University in Brno, Czech Republic, while concurrently holding the position of Admissions Coordinator at the university Rectorate. Her office is located in building C/C.528 at Arna Nováka 1, Brno, with direct contact via phone (549 49 4035) and email (klimusova@rect.muni.cz). She maintains active engagement in academic administration, teaching, and research across multiple institutional contexts.
Her research program centers on General Psychology with specialized expertise in ethical research practices, adolescent mental health, and health psychology interventions. Key investigations examine depression measurement in youth, pain perception in elite sports (particularly ballet), and community-based approaches to childhood obesity. Her methodology integrates psychometric rigor with practical applications, frequently addressing measurement challenges in sensitive research domains including AI ethics and trauma studies.
Analysis of her 145+ publications reveals consistent thematic evolution from foundational psychometric work (evident in her 2014 habilitation thesis on psychological measurement) toward contemporary ethical challenges in digital research and community health implementation. Recent outputs demonstrate interdisciplinary synthesis across developmental psychology, public health, and sport science, with increasing emphasis on methodological innovation for complex real-world problems like adolescent mental health prediction and ballet injury prevention.
Dr. Klimusová supervises graduate theses on career competency development, procrastination dynamics, victimization impacts, and behavioral game theory applications. Her research portfolio includes significant Czech Science Foundation projects including 'Depression in childhood and adolescence' (2016-2018) and 'Health-promoting behaviors' (2013-2016), often collaborating with senior researchers like Assoc. Prof. Iva Burešová across institutions in the Czech Republic and Slovakia.
Within Masaryk University's Institute of Psychology, she contributes to interdisciplinary teams developing community health programs and ethical research frameworks, maintaining active connections with clinical practitioners, public health officials, and international academic collaborators to translate psychological research into practical health interventions.
