Prior to Princeton, he was a visiting scholar at Yale University and received his Ph.D. from the London School of Economics and Political Science. Dr. van der Linden's research interests include social norms and influence, social judgment and decision-making, prosociality and altruism, environmental psychology, behavioural policy, and quantitative methods for the behavioral sciences.
