Kristin Seidel geboren am 21.05.1978 in Oldenburg Gutachter: Prof. Dr. Heinz-Martin Süß Prof. Dr. Lazar Stankov Eingereicht am: 08.05.2007 Verteidigung der Dissertation am: 18.09.2007 Acknowledgements I would like to thank my advisor, Prof. Dr. Heinz-Martin Süß, for his support during the time of writing my dissertation, including all the hours of vivid discussion, the patience of answering my questions, the teaching of how to work on details, and the willingness to promote every new idea. Words cannot express the gratitude I feel for this special time of working together and sharing ideas. The time of working on my dissertation would have been completely different without my colleague and fellow combatant Susanne Weis, whom I appreciated as a partner in discussion, test development, carrying out studies and analyzing data. I gained a lot from the conferences I was able to attend with Susanne Weis and Heinz-Martin Süß by widening our knowledge and experience; as well as getting to know different people and countries. I am grateful to follow in Prof. Dr.
