Caroline Surrey is PostDoc at the Chair of Clinical Psychology and Behavioral Neuroscience at the Technische Universität Dresden.
She focusses on 2 core scientific interests. On the one hand, she investigates the mechanisms of flexible regulation of cognitive control, especially in different demanding contexts. On the other hand, an increasing research priority is on the environmental psychological question why people do not adjust their behavior in a sustainable way, e.g. to avert climate change, although they are aware of the negative consequences. Here she develops reliable methods to capture ecological behavior and explores approaches that promote pro-ecological behavior.
I support the Open Science Initiatuve of the Faculty of Psychology.
