Biography

Hi! I am a PhD candidate at the Department of Leadership & Organizational Behavior at BI Norwegian Business School. I am also affiliated with Trope Lab at New York University’s Department of Psychology. My PhD project seeks to understand how emotions and psychological distance influence decisions involving risk and uncertainty. I am a big fan of open and reproducible science, and an avid user of . I set up the first ReproducibiliTea journal club in Norway, that I’m currently co-running with a colleague. The goal of our journal club is to raise awareness of open science and reproducibility (see “Projects” for more info). I am also a local node leader for Norway’s Reproducibility Network (NORRN) .

A large scale international collaborative project on the social psychology of COVID 19: Implications for leadership research
The current COVID-19 pandemic is a global health crisis. Without a vaccine, the best hope for reducing the spread of the virus is through large-scale behavior change. The International Collaboration on the Social & Moral Psychology of COVID-19 (ICSMP) project was initiated by a group of researchers who were interested in examining the psychological factors underlying the attitudes and behavioral intentions related to COVID-19. Across 46,000 citizens in 67 countries, this project examined why people adopted public health behaviors and supported protective policies during the early stages of the pandemic. The results provide important implications for leaders in managing the current and future pandemics. Operating under a model of open science, all measures and data will be shared, and available for secondary papers upon publication.
