With a Bachelor’s degree in psychology and a Research Master’s in Behavioral and Social Science, I am motivated to continue bridging the gap between psychology and sociology to investigate how micro-level mechanisms combine to shape macro-level outcomes and vice versa. I hope to use this perspective to help gain a better understanding of how to enable individuals to work collectively towards a common goal. Specifically, the goal of climate change mitigation and adaptation has been the focus of my inquiry.
Continuing along that research route I’m excited to join this project led by Vincent Buskens (UU) and Kai Epstude (RUG) to investigate how the limited visibility and potential contentiousness of pro-environmental behaviors may lead to the misperception of norms, and how such misperceptions shape behavioral outcomes and the social fabric of communities
