About Sonja

Sonja Geiger serves as a Lecturer in Psychology within the School of Psychology at Murdoch University, where she joined in April 2023. She holds a PhD in Psychology from the University of Potsdam and completed her Habilitation in Germany focusing on innovative interventions to promote sustainable consumption. As an environmental psychologist, her academic interests center on fostering pro-environmental behaviors, sustainable consumption patterns, and the psychological drivers of ecological actions. Dr. Geiger's research examines how environmental knowledge and attitudes predict ecological behavior across cultures, the distinction between environment-specific and general knowledge in promoting sustainability, and the impact of mindfulness on sustainable practices. She explores cutting-edge approaches such as virtual reality simulations to enhance empathy and connectedness to nature, thereby generating collective action for climate change mitigation. Additionally, her work addresses sustainable habits formation through social influences, time wealth as a driver of well-being and eco-friendly choices, and factors influencing meat consumption and carbon footprint awareness.
