Research focus

Steinebach deals with questions of applied developmental psychology of youth, health promotion and resilience as well as individual development in teams and complex organizations. As a basis for research, prevention, and intervention, he developed a complex and dynamic systemic model of resilience. In this model, physical, emotional, and cognitive processes are described by the cybernetic theory of adaptive self-optimizing systems. For the analysis of relevant external factors, environments are differentiated in terms of the ecological developmental psychology. The goal of systemic processes is, according to this model, the optimization of the person-environment fit by internal system adaptation or external environmental change. Basic needs are seen as critical for resiliency-oriented optimization.
