The role of emotions in sustainable seafood consumption
Main content
About the project
This project is part of the overarching 'Future Fisheries’ project funded by the Research Council of Norway. The 'Future Fisheries’ project is interdisciplinary across biological oceanography, marine ecology, and psychology. The aims are to investigate how fisheries can produce more food at reduced climate impact and what psychological mechanisms may hinder or foster sustainable seafood consumption.
At the Department of Psychosocial Science, we will work on exploring affective images of animal-sourced (sea)food. We aim to find out if there are specific emotional patterns regarding sustainable (sea)food that increase the intention to consume these products. Ultimately, we will work towards investigating ways we can utilize this knowledge to promote sustainable seafood consumption.
