Contact<\/span> Generally speaking, I am interested in the intersection of social psychology and consumer behavior. I am particularly interested in how social and situational forces can impact our behaviours as consumers.\u00a0In this stream of work I examine how self-identity and social influence can impact consumer attitudes and decision making. I am also very interested in how we can change people’s behaviours for the social good and I study how we can shift people\u2019s attitudes, choices, and behaviours to encourage positive actions such as engaging in sustainable behaviours, charitable giving, and making prosocial choices.<\/span><\/p>\n <\/p>\n Here is the more official run-down below:\u00a0\u00a0<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n Kate is currently Professor of Marketing and Behavioural Science at the Sauder School of Business, University of British Columbia, Canada.
