Sander van der Linden, PhD.

Nick is a second-year graduate student in the Department of Psychology. His research interests include the emergent effects of individual psychological differences and the cognitive processes that cause people to share information with and influence one another. He is also interested in how we can use our knowledge of these processes to encourage pro-environmental behavior and accurately communicate scientific findings to the public. Prior to attending Princeton, Nick received his B.A. in psychology from the University of Pennsylvania and worked as a research assistant with the Good Judgment Project.
