Samantha Stanley

I apply social psychological theory and research to real world problems, with a specific focus on understanding how people think, feel, and act in relation to climate change. I am affiliated with the Institute for Climate Risk & Response.

I was awarded an ARC DECRA Fellowship to examine public support for climate migration and climate finance, which I commenced in 2024. I also have ongoing programs of research into ecological emotions, climate change communication, political polarisation on climate change, the psychology of meat consumption and abstention, and public attitudes towards climate policy reform.
