معرفی
Dr. Nina Reinhardt is a Research Fellow at the Institute of Psychology, University of Kassel, Germany. She has been affiliated with the university since 2017, progressing from Student Assistant (2017-2018) to Research Assistant (2018-2022) and currently as a Postdoctoral Researcher (since 2023). Her work focuses on social and personality psychology with emphasis on deception mechanisms in interpersonal contexts.
Her academic credentials include:
- 2023: Doctor of Philosophy (Dr. phil) from Universität Kassel, dissertation on "An Investigation of the lie-telling personality type within different social contexts"
- 2015-2018: Master of Science in Business, Psychology & Management from Universität Kassel
- 2012-2015: Bachelor of Science in Business Psychology from Hochschule Osnabrück
Dr. Reinhardt's research centers on deception and truth detection, particularly examining how the Honesty-Humility trait (HEXACO model) influences lying behavior in romantic relationships. She investigates truth bias mechanisms, personality effects on dating success (including Tinder studies), and connections between belief in a just world and dishonesty. Her methodology combines experimental paradigms with survey research to analyze interpersonal deception dynamics across social contexts.
Analysis of her 2019-2025 publications reveals consistent focus on personality-deception intersections, with Honesty-Humility as the central predictor of dishonest behavior. Recurring themes include replication studies on prosocial lying, narcissism's role in relationship deception, and contextual factors affecting lie detection accuracy. Her work demonstrates rigorous empirical approaches across diverse settings from romantic partnerships to academic environments.
She leads the University of Kassel-funded project "Honesty-Humility and Lying in Romantic Relationships," which confirmed Honesty-Humility's negative correlation with relationship dishonesty (published in Journal of Personality and Social Psychology, 2023). No graduate student advising activities are documented in available materials.
