معرفی
Fredrik Jansson is an Associate Professor and Guest Researcher at Stockholm University's Department of Psychology, affiliated with the Centre for Cultural Evolution. His work focuses on cultural evolution mechanisms, group dynamics, and mathematical modelling of societal phenomena. Key research areas include cultural systems interdependencies, segregation patterns, norm change driven by moral foundations, and democratic transitions. He develops agent-based simulations to study how cultural traits spread and interact, emphasizing combinatorial properties and structural dependencies.
Publications highlight innovative methodologies like analyzing ordinal data sequences and using register data to infer social clustering. His research bridges evolutionary theory with social sciences, addressing questions like how cultural traits form systems and how social consensus shapes diversity preferences. Recent work examines rapid democratic transitions and the role of gender rights in institutional shifts. Fredrik collaborates internationally, contributing to interdisciplinary projects on creole language evolution and the evolutionary basis of ethnocentrism.
His advisory work and grants focus on computational social science and policy implications of cultural dynamics. The Centre for Cultural Evolution serves as his primary research hub, fostering collaborations across psychology, anthropology, and political science.
