Hi! I'm Stylianos Syropoulos. I am a Postdoctoral Research Fellow at the Schiller Institute for Integrated Science and Society and the Department of Psychology and Neuroscience at Boston College.

My research focuses on moral, intergenerational and environmental decision making, particularly within the context of climate change.
-
Moral decision-making: I investigate how people's virtues, values and traits influence how they see others and how they are seen by others, especially when they engage in public and counter-normative behaviors hoping to inspire social change.
-
Intergenerational decision-making: I investigate how perceptions of previous generations, and our perceived obligation to future generations influences our decisions across a variety of contexts and domains.
-
Environmental decision-making: I investigate how various individual differences and social influences impact our environmental and decision making, our engagement in proenvironmental behavior, climate action and our support for climate policies.

Finally, I am also engaged in the study of the psychology of peace and violence. Specifically, I am interested in the antecedents and consequences of intergroup conflict. In this field of research, I place a particular focus on the role of national identity.
