In my research, I use survey data, such as World Values Survey, to study social norms and their change in different cultures. At the Institute, I work with Pontus Strimling and Kimmo Eriksson on a project
The Complexity of Mental Integer Addition
in: Journal of Numerical Cognition, Volume 6 (1). AbstractAn important paradigm in modeling the complexity of mathematical tasks relies on computational complexity theory, in which complexity is measur
The refinement paradox and cumulative cultural evolution: Complex products of collective improvement favor conformist outcomes, blind copying, and hyper-credulity
PLOS Computational Biology Abstract Social learning is common in nature, yet cumulative culture (where knowledge and technology increase in complexity and diversity over time) appears restricted to huma

Social norms and collective threats
Do social norms help dealing with collective threats? This project studies the behavior of people in the face of risk, and asks how social norms can motivate people to cooperate.
Modelling Social Mechanisms for Knowledge Generation & Exploration
Nanda Wijermans, Stockholm Resilience Centre Human behaviour is a complex phenomenon with a lot of open questions. Computational modelling can support the scientific quest for more understanding of hum
