Kimin Eom

Dr Kimin Eom received his PhD in Social Psychology from the University of California, Santa Barbara in 2018. He is interested in prosociality, broadly defined—why people behave in ways that benefit others, society, and the globe. His research examines this topic within the context of social and global challenges that threaten society’s sustainability, such as climate change, and pandemics. In doing so, he addresses implications for positive change in society. His work has been published in leading journals, such as Psychological Science, Personality and Social Psychology Bulletin, Journal of Experimental Social Psychology, and Journal of Environmental Psychology.
