Maria’s research focuses on the individual and contextual conditions for adaptive dealing with failure, errors and misconceptions in academic settings. In particular, she explores the determinants for overcoming failure and effective learning from errors focusing on motivational and emotional self-regulation, resilience, adaptive orientations and beliefs (e.g., growth mindset, challenge vs. threat appraisals), and pedagogies for conceptual change and personal growth. While doing so, it is important to look at psychological processes from different perspectives and with interdisciplinary approaches.  

Currently, she is principal investigator of the research project  Bausteine der Resilienz (Building Blocks of Resilience), funded by the Austrian Federal Ministry of Education, Science and Research (2023-2026). Furthermore, she is part of an international group of researchers ( www.failureresearch.com) who are interested in research related to failure, errors, and mistakes. Together with Maria-Cristina Matteucci (University of Bologna, Italy) and Dr. Gabriele Steuer (University of Bielefeld, Germany), she received four years of funding (2024-2028) for  E-CER (EARLI – Centre for Excellence in Research):  Errors as a Springboard for Learning: Towards a Theoretical Framework and Educational Implications.
