Risk Perception Shapes Attitudes and Behaviour

As part of a special three-part master class series during his visit to New Zealand, Prof. Marijn Poortvliet from Wageningen University will explore how risk perception influences attitudes and decision-making. This session will introduce attendees to key concepts, methods, and theories that Prof. Poortvliet uses in his research, providing a foundation for understanding how individuals assess and respond to risk in areas such as environmental sustainability, agricultural practices, and innovation adoption. By engaging with these insights, participants will gain valuable knowledge and inspiration for potential collaboration. Be sure to check out the other sessions in this series for further insights into environmental psychology and behaviour.

Prof. Marijn Poortvliet

Marijn Poortvliet (PhD University of Groningen) is Associate professor environmental risk communication & sustainability transitions, and works at the Section Philosophy, Innovation, Communication & Education at Wageningen University (the Netherlands). Marijn works from a behavioral perspective (the microlevel) and aims to bring in other relevant disciplines (the meso- and macrolevel) to get a full understanding of how decision making emerges. Therefore, he is keen to use multi- and interdisciplinary approaches. Most of Marijn’s work deals with transitions in agriculture, the adoption of sustainable practices, and environmental decision-making. Marijn likes to apply an array of different methods (on the quantitative—qualitative spectrum) and theoretical paradigms. For a full list of his publications see Google Scholar.
