Prof. Rossmann and her team deal with the socio-psychological and social backgrounds and consequences of interpersonal, public and digital communication and apply these in particular to health, risk and science communication. Central questions relate to media reporting on health and illness, health-related information and communication behavior, intended and unintended effects of media messages on health-related cognitions, emotions and behaviors, strategic health and science communication (e.g., evidence-based campaign research, persuasion research), crisis communication as well as eHealth and mHealth. The spectrum of health and risk topics reaches from physical activity, chronic diseases, vaccinations, Covid-19 to planetary health, women’s health, and mental health. These topics are investigated using various methodological approaches (qualitative, quantitative, and mixed methods), methods of data collection (esp. systematic reviews, content analyses, surveys), and study designs (experimental and non-experimental, cross sectional and longitudinal studies).
How do physicians and patients act together over time to use digital media for self-management of chronic diseases? What factors limit or support the use of digital media for self-management?

The research project “NoViS” examines how adolescents aged 14 to 16 present themselves on Instagram and Snapchat. It explores how personal and social norms, set by relevant others, shape their self-presentation and play a key role in their identity development.
