Dora Tinhof completed her Bachelor's (2013-2016) and Master's (2016-2019) degree of psychology at the University of Vienna. In her master thesis she researched motivational predictors of Internet Gaming Disorder (IGD), a relatively new disorder concept. After starting her doctoral studies at the University of Bielefeld in 2019, her focus, shifted to a more general research interest regarding the Internet as integral part of daily life.
