His primary scientific interests are in Social psychology, Leadership style, Developmental psychology, Organizational commitment and Transactional leadership.
His Social psychology research is multidisciplinary, incorporating perspectives in Coping and Positive reframing.
His study in Leadership style is interdisciplinary in nature, drawing from both Authentic leadership, Cognition, Association and Information processing.
The Nonverbal communication research Dieter Frey does as part of his general Developmental psychology study is frequently linked to other disciplines of science, such as Oxytocin, therefore creating a link between diverse domains of science.
He focuses mostly in the field of Organizational commitment, narrowing it down to matters related to Social responsibility and, in some cases, Job satisfaction.
He interconnects Confirmatory factor analysis, Negative affectivity, Charismatic authority and Proactivity in the investigation of issues within Transactional leadership.
