Current projects (at different stages of development)

I am currently involved on a number of research projects, either as a lead author or as a co-author. Below you can find brief descriptions of these projects.

Traits desired in environmental leaders when facing an imminent ecological disaster

With Jacob Matic, Dr. Shiv Mukherjee, and Prof. Dr. Mark van Vugt, we explore whether people's declared and actual environmental leader preferences are moderated by the type of environmental challenge followers expect to deal with.
Level of development: Working on a first revision

Promoting sustainable consumption society-wide: a costly signaling approach

Level of development: Manuscript is being drafted.

Perceived fairness of solar radiation management

With Dr. Nadja Contzen and (+20 coauthors), we explore cross-culturally to what extent different configurations of solar radition management are perceived in terms of fairness.
