How to Overcome Frustration? The Influence of Frustration on Motivational Orientation and Motivational Intensity Inaugural-Dissertation zur Erlangung der Doktorwürde der Philosophischen Fakultät II der Julius-Maximilians-Universität Würzburg vorgelegt von Regina Krieglmeyer aus Würzburg Würzburg, 2007 Acknowledgments While working on my thesis I was supported by many people whom I would like to express my thanks to. First and foremost, I would like to express my gratitude to my supervisor Fritz Strack, who greatly influenced my way of thinking about psychological processes. You gave me the opportunity to pursue my own interests and at the same time were always prepared to give me valuable advice. Thank you very much indeed! I would like to express my great thankfulness to Roland Deutsch, who introduced me to psychological science. Your support in completing this thesis by discussing numerous questions, providing valuable suggestions, and commenting on parts of a previous draft of this dissertation was essential. My gratitude also goes to my colleagues Katja Stork and Atilla Höfling, who shared with me from the very beginning the ups and downs of completing a PhD. I want to especially thank Atilla for commenting on parts of a previous draft of my dissertation. A special thanks goes to Beate Seibt for her valuable ideas that led to study 4 of this thesis.
