Hi, I am Madelijn, a social psychologist at Utrecht University.

My main scientific objective is to increase the connection between science and society, and to delve deeper into the psychological underpinnings of social behavior..

I am an expert on social influence, communication, and behavioral change. In addition, I study the social impact of humor.  

As the Director of Continuing Education at the Faculty of Social and Behavioral Sciences, I work with university teachers and outside organizations to create and deliver professional education programs.
