Presentation and Abstract

Svenja Wolf: Because We're in This Together! The Consequences and Functionality of Collective
Emotions in Sport

Svenja Wolf will present her research on emotions and group dynamics, and their
links, at individual, group, leader, and organizational levels in sport and similar
high-pressure performance settings like music and emergency responds. Svenja’s
research group is passionate about conducting ecologically valid research that has
the capacity to make a real impact in the field and translating our findings and
knowledge back to performers, teams, and organizations, collaborating with them
as partners to generate and investigate new and relevant research questions.
