How important is public acceptance in industrial hydrogen projects? Through the #HySuccess project, our colleague @gpalomovelez.bsky.social contributed to a report on the tech, people, place and process factors that may shape public acceptance of such projects:

Come work with us: we're hiring a PhD on fair climate policy! The project aims to develop psychological and sociological insights into what citizens view as fair and just solutions to #climatechange and the factors and circumstances that influence these perceptions. Application deadline: 10 May

Post doc tip: HySuccess, a project studying the role of #hydrogen in a sustainable energy system, is hiring a Postdoctoral Researcher at @unileiden.bsky.social to study the labour market effects and political economy of the green transition.

Broadly defined #environmentalism may be one way in which prosocial tendencies (acting for the benefit of others) are expressed, extending the circle of “others” beyond humans. Congrats @gpalomovelez.bsky.social on his latest co-authored paper (formatted version coming soon)!

Our colleagues @gpalomovelez.bsky.social, Linda Steg & Goda Perlaviciute will present their work on fairness & trust perceptions of #hydrogen import policies during a (hybrid) workshop on 30 April hosted by the University of Portsmouth! Interested? Sign up here: forms.office.com/Pages/Respon...

Meet the people behind the science! Today, our colleague post doc Gonzalo Palomo is in the spotlight! He's studying public perceptions and acceptability of energy projects and policies, and what motivates people to engage in sustainable consumption. @gpalomovelez.bsky.social @rug-gmw.bsky.social

Our ( not-so-recent-anymore) article on suspicion, trust, and acceptability of hydrogen production got featured in the news section of GroenvermogenNL. Glad to see that it was interesting to audiences beyond social science. @epgroningen.bsky.social groenvermogennl.org/en/nieuws/be...

"Building public trust in #hydrogen is not only about the energy carrier itself, but also about who is producing it and why" - our colleague @gpalomovelez.bsky.social spoke about his recent paper on reputation management and hydrogen, in a nice interview with the Wubbo Ockels School at @rug.nl

📘 We have a new book chapter out, where we reflect on the quantitative–qualitative binarism in methods commonly used in environmental psychology — and the onto-epistemic consequences of what often appears to be just a “technical coexistence.” 🔍

Thanks @rug.nl for highlighting @gpalomovelez.bsky.social's recent paper on acceptability of and trust in hydrogen producers! In short: it depends on whether the hydrogen is green or blue, and whether the producers have a sustainable track record www.rug.nl/gmw/news/250...

www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti... Our colleague postdoc @gpalomovelez.bsky.social is a co-author on another new paper out this week, about the role of competence and integrity when it comes to trust of #sustainable food policy in #Chile and #Germany:

New paper out! How does trust in institutions shape public views on sustainable food policies? And do these dynamics look the same across cultural contexts? 🌍

🚨We have a new publication out with Goda Perlaviciute, Nadja Contzen, Linda Steg in which we examined how key feaures of hydrogen production impact its public accetability and the extent people trust in the actors behind such production.

Now this article exploring climate change anxiety among climate-related researchers is finally published: www.frontiersin.org/journals/psy... @cr2uchile.bsky.social @epgroningen.bsky.social

Contento de presentar parte de nuestro trabajo sobre las bases evolucionistas del comportamiento con impacto ambiental en la charla inaugural del año académico de la Escuela de Psi. de la U. del Bío-Bío. Gracias a José Sandoval y autoridades de la U por la amable invitación. @cr2uchile.bsky.social

A few years ago, I contributed the Chilean sample to a cross-cultural study on the evolutionary roots of preferences for dominant leadership. Congrats to corresponding authors Lasse Laustsen and Mark van Vugt, and to the whole team! www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti...

Next week I’ll be sharing some of our work on public acceptability of hydrogen in a webinar organized in the context of the GreenPaths project. Thanks for the invitation! ✍🏻 Register here: lnkd.in/dNpkPSjt 📌 More info: lnkd.in/dKMi_U9r

El 27 de mayo daré la charla inaugural del año académico de la Escuela de Psicología de la Universidad del Bío-Bío. Agradezco a José Sandoval-Díaz y a sus colegas por la amable invitación a hablar sobre psicología evolucionista y comportamiento ambiental.

Just presented some results on the communicative value of sustainable buying in the context of a climate-related EHBEA-funded workshop (organized by @danielfarrelly.bsky.social and @Manpal Bhogal) Great work from researchers working on climate-related topics from an evolutionary approach.

1/ @Sarah Gradidge, Tara McGuicken, and I, have a new paper out about consumer acceptance of cultured meat (also called in-vitro meat or lab grown meat) 🥩🐔😕

🚫 Why does #TheHague #fossilfuel advertising ban matter to mitigating #climatechange? Our colleague Thijs Bouman & co-authors Jan Willem Bolderdijk & Keith Smith explore the impact of the bold initiative beyond its symbolism in a new paper: www.nature.com/articles/s41... Here's a short 🧵:

How can we foster our intrinsic #motivation to take better care of our planet? On 23 April at 18:00 CET, Linda Steg will speak about how to promote #climateaction and #proenvironmental #behaviour beyond extrinsic motivation: delval-edu.zoom.us/webinar/regi...

New blog post! In which I explain the issue with mediation analysis and sketch out one way to deal with the underlying causal inference problem -- in just a bit over 1,000 words! If you have never found the time to read up on this, now is your chance. www.the100.ci/2025/03/20/r...

Studies consistently show that Americans underestimate support for a wide range of pro-climate policies--an important intervention point. But another layer to this is that they also *over*estimate support for pro-fossil fuel policies. Check out the figure below for 18 diff policies we asked about:

Our colleague PhD candidate Robert Görsch has his first first-author paper out today! Together with Goda Perlaviciute and Linda Steg, he researched stability of public #acceptability of #energy technologies: link.springer.com/epdf/10.1007...

Today, at the lab meeting of @epgroningen.bsky.social, I shared some recent results from a project we've been working on with Goda Perlaviciute, Nadja Contzen, and Linda Steg, focusing on trust in energy companies and acceptability of hydrogen production. Happy for the opportunity.

Duting the next two weeks, I'll be in the Netherlands for a research stay at @epgroningen.bsky.social group of the @unigroningen.bsky.social. Happy to have the opportunity to collaborate and chat with such a great group of excellent researchers (plus, the city is just gezellig).
