Does how we talk about climate change affect our willingness to take action? 🌍 Our latest study reveals that different climate change terminologies don't alter willingness to act. @kim_doell @jayvanbavel @vlasceanu_mada Preprint now available: osf.io/preprints/psya…

@Rrrianabrown @OhioState @OSUsocialpsych Congrats!! 🎉

Although much of human morality evolved in an environment of small group living, almost 6 billion people use the internet in the modern era. We argue that the technological transformation has created an entirely new ecosystem that is often mismatched with our evolved adaptations for social living. We discuss how evolved responses to moral transgressions, such as compassion for victims of transgressions and punishment of transgressors, are disrupted by two main features of the online context. 1) the scale of the internet exposes us to an unnaturally large quantity of extreme moral content, causing compassion fatigue and increasing public shaming. 2) the physical and psychological distance between moral actors online can lead to ineffective collective action and virtue signaling. led by @CRobertson500 @azimshariff academic.oup.com/pnasnexus/arti…

@CecilieTraberg @CBScph Congrats Cecilie, amazing news!! 🎉

Thrilled to share that I've accepted a Tenure-Track Assistant Professor position at Copenhagen Business School @CBScph starting 2025. My focus will be on the psychology of technology and online influence - I'm incredibly excited for future projects and collaborations!

Overall, most people around the world believed in human caused climate change and supported a wide variety of policies to reduce it (exceeding 75%). We also observed worldwide polarization in climate change beliefs and policy support, with liberals generally showing higher levels of both compared to conservatives. However, this polarization did not extend to the amount of effort and time invested in a climate-relevant action—liberals and conservatives were equally likely to take action on a tree-planting task jayvanbavellab.substack.com/p/bridging-the…

Our new research in @sciencemagazine shows that no new fossil fuel projects are needed to meet energy demand in scenarios limiting warming to 1.5°C. We need bans & advocacy to build a #NoNewFossil norm doi.org/10.1126/scienc… @OlivierBvK @st_pye @FuelOnTheFire @ucl @IISD_Energy

@Leesplez Congrats!!

This Fall I'm starting as an Assistant Professor in Organizational Behavior at the University of Groningen! I'm extremely excited to be in the Netherlands and starting this new academic and personal journey 😊

Really important, empirically-validated guidance here re. to what extent, and how, we might move conservatives toward greater acceptance of climate change, and participation in climate action.

#BehindThePaper with @kim_doell for @SpringerNature: We discuss our recent findings on the 'green gap' — where liberals and conservatives surprise us by acting more similarly on #climateaction than their differing beliefs might suggest. 🌍🍃 tinyurl.com/GreenGapNature…

Thanks for sharing!

Our new research suggests that finding #climate actions with bipartisan support is already possible–even in a country as politically polarized as the United States. In a new paper in @NatureComms we tested 11 interventions (N=51,224) in 60 countries: osf.io/preprints/psya…

First paper out of my PhD published in Nature Communications 🥳 Henri Gruhl and I find that different types of climate protests (climate strikes & acts of civil disobedience) have been effective in increasing concerns about climate change in Germany. nature.com/articles/s4146…
