In our team, we continuously conduct systematic reviews and meta-analyses to pool research findings, identify research gaps and gain robust, evidence-based insights. Following a team science approach, we pool our expertise, share responsibility and learn together to produce high-quality systematic reviews and meta-analyses.

Involvement of students

We also involve students who are interested in learning about systematic reviews and meta-analyses. We accompany the entire process, and we are pleased that two publications have already emerged from projects with student participation:

• Schunck, L., von Düring, U. & Wilke, J. (2025). The role of narcissistic personality traits in bullying behaviour in adolescence - A systematic review and meta-analysis. Personality and Individual Differences, 240, 113168.
