Health Psychology

My team focuses on studying on a broad range of psychological, social and economic determinants of eating and physical activity behaviours and testing digital and choice architecture interventions to promote healthier lifestyles at the population level. We also investigate how digital environments including social media influence lifestyle behaviours and identify solutions for mitigating effects of mis- and disinformation exposure. To achieve these objectives, we use a broad range of mostly quantitative-experimental methods including realistic food replicas in laboratory settings and smartphone-based Ecological Momentary Assessment for collecting data in participants' daily life. We are also interested in the validity of (digital) eating behaviour measurement to improve data quality.
