Hello all! Our team, which consists of over 30 researchers, focuses on sustainable behaviour change, public acceptance of environmental policies and system changes, public participation in decision making, the effect of environmental behaviour and conditions of life quality (including environmental emotions like eco-anxiety).

We study the role of individual factors (such as values), group factors (such as group identity), as well as contextual factors. The main questions that our group seeks to answer: How can psychology help us understand and address environmental challenges? How can we motivate and empower people to act pro-environmentally and adapt to a changing environment?

We look forward to your questions! The researchers taking part are:

• Professor Linda Steg
• Associate professor Ellen van der Werff
• Associate professor Goda Perlaviciute
• Post doc Anne van Valkengoed
• Post doc Lisa Novoradovskaya
• PhD candidate Robert Goersch

The responding researcher will sign each answer they give, so you'll know who's who. You can find out more about our academic programme at https://www.rug.nl/masters/environmental-psychology/?lang=en and our research output at https://research.rug.nl/en/organisations/environmental-psychology
