Dr. Katja Witte serves as a Postdoctoral Researcher (Research Fellow) at the Institute of Psychology within Humboldt University of Berlin's Faculty of Life Sciences. She is affiliated with the Chair of Psychological Assessment under Prof. Dr. Matthias Ziegler, conducting research and teaching from her office at Rudower Chaussee 18, Room 4'113. Her work focuses on advancing psychological assessment methodologies in educational contexts.
Dr. Witte's academic credentials from Humboldt University of Berlin include:
- Doctorate (Dr. rer. nat.) in Psychology (2025)
- Master of Science in Psychology (2020)
- Bachelor of Science in Psychology (2017)
Her research integrates psychological assessment with motivational theory to develop innovative diagnostic tools. Specializing in achievement motivation dynamics and digital assessment solutions, she bridges educational psychology and test construction. Current projects examine state-trait interactions in learning environments and develop aptitude tests for psychology programs, emphasizing practical applications in higher education.
Recent publications reveal a cohesive research trajectory centered on valid assessment design. The 2024 study dissects motivational state dynamics in learning contexts, while the 2023 BSF-P publication establishes standardized evaluation frameworks for psychology applicants. Together, these works demonstrate methodological rigor in measuring complex psychological constructs for educational decision-making.
Dr. Witte secures competitive funding from entities including the State of Berlin (BSF-P development), Media Commission of the AS (digital self-assessment tools), and Bertelsmann Stiftung (AI in continuing education). Her project portfolio reflects strategic alignment with institutional priorities in educational innovation.
