Research
Winnie Gebhardt studies the dynamic interaction of health goals and other personal goals, including the role of ambivalence, goal prioritization, intergoal facilitation and - conflict. Moreover, she explores intervention techniques to strengthen the link between a health goal and personal identity, e.g. by connecting the health goal to future "possible" selves, or by boosting “transitional identities. In addition, she works on the evaluation of (governmental) interventions to encourage healthier lifestyles, and on the improvement of the process of implementation.
