OverviewAI-generated summary

Pia Pennekamp's research focuses on cognitive processes related to eyewitness testimony and emotion regulation. She investigates how factors such as confidence levels and emotional states influence memory recall and identification accuracy. Her work has explored the relationship between emotion malleability beliefs, event intensity, and daily emotion regulation strategies, as well as the impact of short- and long-term motives on these processes.

Pennekamp has examined the variability and interpretation of eyewitness confidence, particularly the differences between verbal and numeric confidence ratings and their effect on decision-making.
