Research

Overview

My research interests lie in environmental psychology and how we can inspire meaningful action to tackle the climate crisis. My Master’s research project concerned the effect of empirical and anecdotal evidence on people’s perceptions of the climate crisis, and whether added emotionality would increase people’s willingness to take individual actions that play a part in mitigating climate change. I am also interested in how environmental psychology overlaps with other psychology fields, including cognitive psychology, social psychology, behaviour change, emotions, and attitudes. Additionally, I am interested in the barriers that prevent mass climate action and what we can do to help overcome them. There are plenty of successful examples that we can learn from, from the Montreal Protocol in 1987 that banned CFCs to protect the ozone layer to the widespread success of public information campaigns around recycling.
