Improving prosocial attitudes through behavioral interventions

Two Research Collaborators on the project “Spinta gentile, vaccinazione anti-COVID-19 e salute pubblica” (SpinGeVacS: Nudges, COVID-19 vaccination and public health) funded by Regione Toscana. The project aims at collecting data about people’s beliefs, motivations, preferences, and behaviors in healthcare contexts. The goal is developing behaviorally-inspired tools to promote prosocial behavior (e.g., improving vaccination compliance among both the general population and healthcare professionals) and to improve transparent and trustworthy communication, decision-making and policy design (e.g., nudge and boosting interventions).
 The ideal candidates will fit in at least one of the following profiles:
 1) One junior researcher with a solid background in social/behavioral science, experience in designing and conducting experiments (e.g., RCTs) in the lab or in the field, and/or familiarity with quantitative methods for data analysis (e.g., causal modeling, counterfactual analysis); or
2) One junior researcher with a solid background in cognitive/behavioral science, familiarity with designing and administering questionnaires and/or qualitative studies, and documented experience in paper writing.
