Jochen Fahrenberg

Jochen Fahrenberg (born 18 September 1937 in Berlin) is a German psychologist in the fields of Personality, psychophysiology and philosophy of science.

His dissertation was based on an experimental investigation and factor analysis of writing movement parameters (graphometry).

In 1973, he was offered the Chair at the Psychology Department previously held by his academic teacher, the philosopher and psychologist Robert Heiß, founder of the Freiburg Institute.

A second focus of his research was Ambulant Assessment (ambulatory monitoring): psychophysiological examinations under everyday conditions, also during work and leisure periods, with multi-channel digital systems for recording behavioural, physiological and subjective data.

In addition, a number of books and articles were written about Wilhelm Wundt, a pioneer of modern psychology.
