Field/Discipline
Expertise
Economic psychology, environmental psychology, consumer behavior, social marketing
My research in economic and environmental psychology centres on understanding how lay beliefs drive social change. I explore how people's understanding of economic concepts shapes their decision-making, especially regarding environmentally conscious choices. I also investigate the psychological aspects of lay beliefs in other areas, such as health, examining their impact on behavior and decision-making, including the spread of conspiracy theories and vaccine uptake.
