معرفی
Sandra Oberleiter (BSc, MSc) is a researcher at the Department of Developmental and Educational Psychology within the Faculty of Psychology, focusing on large-scale meta-analyses of psychological phenomena. Her work spans intelligence research, personality disorders, and cognitive assessment methodologies with significant contributions to understanding generational shifts in psychological metrics.
Her primary research interests include the Flynn Effect (historical IQ trends), narcissism epidemiology, and psychological measurement invariance. She employs advanced meta-analytic techniques to examine population-level cognitive changes, with particular attention to Austrian military personnel datasets and global narcissism trends across decades. Her fingerprint analysis reveals strong specialization in intelligence research (100% Flynn Effect), meta-analysis methodology (80%), and clinical psychology applications (42% population medicine).
Recent publications demonstrate consistent focus on longitudinal cognitive trends, with 18 research outputs between 2022-2025 showing increasing impact (9 outputs in 2024 alone). Her work has generated significant attention with coverage by 11 news outlets, 40+ X posts, and 10 Mendeley readers for her narcissism meta-analysis.
- Best Student Paper Award (2025) for "A Century of IQ Shifts: A CHC-based meta-analysis of specific ability trends in the Flynn effect (1909–2025)"
- Best Student Paper Award (2024) for "A negative Fynn effect for figural reasoning"
Dr. Oberleiter maintains active research collaboration across international networks, particularly with Austrian institutions as evidenced by studies using Austrian Air Force datasets. Her 27 recorded academic activities (2022-2025) include multiple conference presentations on IQ evolution and measurement invariance, demonstrating strong engagement with the scientific community.
