Tobias Greitemeyer is a Professor of Social Psychology and Deputy Head of the Institute of Psychology at the University of Innsbruck, Austria. His research is conducted within the Institute of Psychology located at Universitätsstraße 5-7 (Grauer Bär), with consultation hours by appointment and contact via email and phone.
His research spans core areas of social psychology including aggression mechanisms, media effects (particularly violent video games), moral psychology, personality traits (Dark Triad/Light Triad), environmental behavior, and prosocial conduct. He investigates how situational factors, personality, and media exposure influence everyday social interactions, with notable focus on methodological rigor through naturalistic observations, longitudinal designs, and replication studies. Recent work examines virtual reality applications, remote work impacts, far-right movements, and AI-related academic cheating.
Analysis of his 2023-2025 publications reveals interdisciplinary integration of technology (VR, AI) with traditional social psychology frameworks. Key trends include aggression contagion pathways, moral disengagement in health crises, ecological validity in behavioral measurement, and the interplay between personality traits and social contexts. His work consistently emphasizes real-world applicability through diary studies, field experiments, and naturalistic replication across diverse domains from traffic behavior to vaccination decisions.
