Brunstein 1. Berichterstatter: Prof. Michael Frese 2. Berichterstatter: Prof. Peter Schmidt 2 Acknowledgements First of all, I thank my doctor father Prof. Michael Frese for his ongoing inspiration and tremen-dous effort spent on evaluating my research. He always provided me with valuable feedback and helped me to find blind spots in my work. I especially thank him for keeping his patience and self-discipline in some discussions with me – something which surely was not always easy. I also thank Prof. Peter Schmidt who taught me so much about methodology and always was a source of vision and hope – scientifically as well as emotionally. I also thank my colleagues (Christine König, Dr. Jens Unger, Michael Gielnik, Katharina Tornau, Ronald Bledow, and Hannes Zacher) who created a comfortable work atmosphere and often served as sources of emotional and instrumental support.
