Life
Jochen Fahrenberg studied psychology, philosophy and sociology in Freiburg, London and Hamburg and received his doctorate in 1962 with an experimental thesis on writing motor skills (graphometry). After the research assistant with the cardiologist Ludwig Delius in the cardiovascular clinic Bad Oeynhausen followed in 1966 in Freiburg the habilitation on the subject of psychophysiological personality research . Together with the physician Michael Myrtek, he founded the Freiburg “Research Group Psychophysiology” in 1970 with funds from the Volkswagen Foundation. In 1973, Fahrenberg was appointed to the chair for psychology of his academic teacher, the philosopher and psychologist Robert Heiss , founder of the Freiburg Institute. In the following decades he was committed to the considerable expansion of the institute and the study reform. When driving mountain retired in 2002, his double function as head of the department for personality psychology and as one of the two project leaders of the research group psychophysiology at the institute for psychology of the Albert-Ludwigs-University Freiburg ended .
He was married to the educational psychologist Brigitte Fahrenberg, b. Beckhaus (1933-2011).

In its 35-year anniversary of the Research Group Psychophysiology priorities in multivariate activation and stress research ( "psychophysical scores processes"), psychophysiological had personality research , research on heart - circulation - rehabilitation , disease behavior and life satisfaction . The research group's laboratory was generously equipped by the Volkswagen Foundation with eight positions, computer-assisted measuring stations and a clinical-chemical laboratory. In addition to the new laboratory methodology and the outpatient assessment , several test procedures and personality questionnaires were constructed, including the personality questionnaire most frequently used in the German-speaking world, the Freiburg personality inventory FPI, as well as the life satisfaction questionnaire and the Freiburg list of complaints .
In particular, cardiovascular psychophysiology formed the focus of extensive laboratory and field investigations with method developments and critical theory reviews - from biological personality research to psychosomatics . So was Hans Jürgen Eysenck then widely accepted biopsychological personality theory of emotion (also known as emotional lability or neuroticism called) systematically tested in experimental and clinical studies. The test results refuted the claim of a systematic connection between typical personality traits (questionnaire scales) and vegetative lability (hyperreactivity of the autonomic nervous system). A second research focus was outpatient assessment (monitoring): psychophysiological examinations under everyday conditions, also at work and in leisure time, with behavior recorders and physiological measurement systems. With these fields of work, Freiburg psychophysiology was among the top group in international research; the list of publications includes more than 400 works. The most important data records are archived open access.
The later work was in other areas: psychological anthropology (with surveys of students' views of human beings ), philosophy of science and the theory of categories in psychology, and theoretical psychology . There were also several publications about the founder of modern psychology Wilhelm Wundt .
In 1972, Jochen Fahrenberg called the “Working Conference for Psychophysiological Methodology (APM)” into being, from which in 1982 the “German Society for Psychophysiology and Its Application (DGPA)” emerged. The Freiburg conferences on outpatient assessment led to the establishment of the international "Society for Ambulatory Assessment" in 2009.
