WHAT WE DO

Our research focuses on social behaviour: In which situations do people behave prosocially, and in which do they act antisocially? How are people influenced by others in their decision-making? How do we change our beliefs in response to social information? Answers to these questions are central for successful societies as well as to individual well-being.
