Acknowledgements

First and foremost, I would like to thank my supervisor, Hugo M. Kehr, for his guidance,
his inspiration, and for the freedom with which he allowed me to follow my research
interests during the last four years. I also thank Veronika Brandstätter-Morawietz for
discussing experimental designs, supporting diverse applications, and for supervising me
from Zürich. Furthermore, I am grateful to Richard Koestner for his support in writing the
article and developing new ideas about the development of motive congruence and its
relation to Self-Determination Theory. Finally, I thank Claudia Peus for taking the
responsibility to chair my committee.
I gratefully acknowledge the support of TUM Graduate School's Faculty Graduate
Centre TUM School of Management at Technische Universität München, Germany. I also
thank the Henry A. Murray Research Archive of the Institute for Quantitative Social
Science at Harvard University, Cambridge, Massachusetts for providing the data we used
and re-analysed in Study 3.
In addition, I would like to thank Franziska Lindlacher and Florentin Vesenbeckh for
their tireless commitment to collecting data at various climbing walls. Furthermore, I am
grateful to Julian Kindlein for scoring a lot of PSE stories with me and even more for me.
I am grateful to Susanne Steiner and Alexandra Strasser for their very helpful
comments on my first drafts. I also thank those two in addition to Anja Schiepe-Tiska,
Fabian Piechowski, Friederike Dislich, Ina Melny, Jörg Seeliger, Lena-Maria Müller,
Matthias Schlabitz, and Matthias Strasser for sharing all the stressful but also the various
joyful moments during the period of my graduation. I thank them for being understanding
and supportive, particularly during the most recent period of writing, but also for pushing
me forward from time to time.
I am particularly grateful to Klaus-Günter Schattke for his constant support
throughout my entire life, for always being there, and for believing in me.
Last but so not least, I owe a very special debt of gratitude to Geneviève Taylor for
her priceless feedback and very helpful comments on the different drafts of my
dissertation, and if nothing else, for her implicit and explicit support in the English
language. Moreover, I thank her particularly for her emotional support throughout the time
of graduation, for encouraging me over the Atlantic, and for just being there and waiting
for me.
