Fachgebiet: Psychologie TO CALIBRATE OR NOT TO CALIBRATE? CONDITIONS AND PROCESSES OF METACOGNITIVE CALIBRATION DURING HYPERMEDIA LEARNING Inaugural-Dissertation zur Erlangung des Doktorgrades der Philosophischen Fakultät der Westfälischen Wilhelms-Universität zu Münster (Westf.) vorgelegt von Stephanie Pieschl aus Münster (Westf.) Münster, 2007 Tag der mündlichen Prüfung: 06.02.2008Dekan: Prof. Dr. Woyke Referent: Dr. Bromme Korreferent: Prof. Dr. Winne Acknowledgements Even though I am the person responsible for every written word in this Ph.D. thesis, any work is a communal effort. I got advice and support from many people, from colleagues as well as from friends and family. Thanks to all of you. However, some people will be ad-dressed specifically because they contributed more to this thesis than others. My dissertation was embedded in a project funded by the German Research Foundation (DFG) about the impact of epistemological beliefs on learning processes. The primary in-vestigators of this project, Prof. Dr. Rainer Bromme and Prof. Dr. Elmar Stahl, were not only my superiors but also my main advisors for my thesis. Thank you for your support, your patience and many constructive discussions.
