Coralie CHEVALLIER
Coralie Chevallier is a behavioral scientist who studies the evolutionary and cognitive determinants of social cognition. She has been mainly interested in how motivational factors affect social cognition. More recently, she has been working on how stress, environmental harshness, and uncertainty influence a range of social and non-social decisions: prosociality and social trust, political attitudes and religion, health attitudes, fertility, and parenthood. The central hypothesis of his work is that environmental and motivational factors alter the minds of individuals in significant ways and should be targeted upstream to improve people's lives.
