Dr Natalia Stanulewicz's research focusses on understanding the mechanisms underlying human prosociality, with a special emphasis on self-conscious emotions and the role of personality. She is interested in how emotions can push us toward and away from being prosocial and what explains why some personality traits (i.e., agreeableness, neuroticism) are linked to increased/decreased prosocial behaviour.
Dr Stanulewicz also conducts research investigating the role of risk and protective factors on wellbeing and health, and how some health conditions (e.g., diabetes) can affect wellbeing. Lastly, she is also interested in examining the effectiveness of health messages on compliance, and applying the experimental findings to inform the intervention design targeting wellbeing.
