Janine Stollberg

Dr. Janine Stollberg is a researcher in the Department of Psychology at the University of Salzburg, affiliated with the Division of Social Psychology within the Faculty of Social Sciences. She is actively involved in research on social psychological processes related to personal threat and group dynamics.
