Sandra Geiger

Sandra Geiger is a Senior Research Fellow in the Environmental Psychology group and a postdoctoral researcher at the Behavioral Science for Policy Lab (BSPL) at Princeton University (USA).

Her work focuses broadly on pluralistic ignorance—inaccurate beliefs about social norms. To seek answers, Sandra’s research uses survey, experimental, and field methods across countries to understand how these inaccurate beliefs can be corrected to ignite change for environmental protection.

Sandra obtained a PhD in Psychology from the University of Vienna and a Research Master’s in Psychology from the University of Amsterdam (Netherlands). She is currently serving as the Director of Research at the Junior Researcher Programme, a global initiative to create research opportunities for bachelor’s and master’s students in Psychology.
