Advancing human wellbeing and planetary health with psychological insights

 

I strive to advance human wellbeing and planetary health through my psychological expertise. I regularly publish research on various environmental topics, teach environmental psychology at the undergraduate and postgraduate levels, and collaborate with and offer consulting services to local and international environmental organizations.

 

Research Programs

 

I study how humans behave in relation to the environment. My primary research focuses include: (i) to understand how people perceive their relationship with nature and the emotional and behavioral implications of such perceptions; (ii) to explore the cross-national variability of phenomena related to environmental attitudes and pro-environmental behavior; (iii) to examine human responses to the problem of climate change, such as climate change anxiety, support for climate policies, and conspiracy theories.
