I conduct research in the field of social psychology. My research interests include social norms, intergroup relations, social identity, and collective attitudes, intentions, and behaviours. In my master’s studies, I focused on cultural appropriation. In my PhD research, I examined the role of social norms in shaping individuals’ attitudes, intentions, and behaviours. More specifically, I investigated the effects of descriptive and injunctive norms, with a particular focus on dynamic and static norm processes.

In my research, I adopt an experimental social psychology approach and conduct studies on social change, collective action, normative influence, and intergroup processes. I also continue my academic work in the areas of statistics, psychometrics, scale development, and scale adaptation.
