Peter F. Titzmann is Professor for Developmental Psychology at the Leibniz University Hannover, Germany. In his research he investigates the interplay between normative development and migration-related adaptation among adolescents with immigrant background. He studied this interplay in developmental outcomes, such as acculturative stress, delinquency, family interactions, autonomy, and self-efficacy.
Philipp Jugert is Professor of Intercultural Psychology - Migration and Integration at the University of Duisburg-Essen, Germany. His major research interests include social development in the context of ethnic diversity, group processes and intergroup relations, and civic engagement.
