Research Interests

In my research, I am interested in how our environment affects our well-being, health and personality. This means that I use longitudinal data to investigate changes in well-being or personality traits and try to find out whether these changes depend on our environment. By environment, I mean our social environment, i.e. the people around us (their values, attitudes and norms), but also the physical environment, for example as measured by median income, the rate at which people move in or out of the region in which we live or the migration rate.
