Social Psychologist (Associate Professor) at Rennes 2 University, my research focuses on the study of the interaction between social and psychological factors that influence social thinking, beliefs and behaviors when individuals or groups encounter situations that may be perceived as uncertain, risky or extreme (cf. LPC3). In a more applied way, I am interested in the processes of social and cognitive adaptation to environmental risks (e.g. climate change); to health or biological risks (emerging infectious diseases, antibiotic resistance, vaccine hesitancy), to societal risks (terrorism and radicalization) and to the uncertainties related to these situations.
