Jerónimo Cassol Sôro is an active Researcher at Lusófona University's School of Psychology and Life Sciences, affiliated with HEI-Lab (Digital Laboratories of Environments and Human Interactions). With an h-index of 101 and 13 scientific productions documented between 2017-2025, he maintains significant research output including 2025 publications currently in press or submitted to the Journal of Risk Research. His work spans multiple active projects including TechMap (digital literacy assessment) and Mapping Youth Work attitudes.

His research interests form a distinctive fingerprint centered on Risk Perception (100%), Eco-Anxiety (100%), and Pro-Environmental Behavior (100%), with substantial contributions to False Memory (66%) and Artificial Intelligence (66%) applications in psychology. Additional expertise includes cognitive functioning under financial scarcity, meta-analytical approaches, and digital literacy assessment as evidenced by his September 2024 oral presentation on TECHMAP.

His publication trends reveal a strategic shift toward environmental psychology since 2022, with 2024-2025 outputs focusing on eco-anxiety mediation pathways and risk perception frameworks. Earlier work established foundations in cognitive performance meta-analysis and AI-driven financial risk modeling, demonstrating consistent interdisciplinary methodology across behavioral economics, environmental science, and digital technology domains.

As an active investigator in two major 2024 projects (TechMap and Youth Work attitudes mapping), he collaborates with multidisciplinary teams across ILIND - Instituto Lusófono de Investigação e Desenvolvimento. His research has garnered significant attention with 80 Mendeley readers, coverage in 5 news outlets, and discussion by 6 X users, reflecting real-world impact beyond academic circles.

Within HEI-Lab, Sôro contributes to cutting-edge research on digital environments and human interactions, leveraging both qualitative and quantitative methodologies. His current trajectory indicates growing focus on climate psychology interventions and digital competency frameworks, positioning him at the intersection of environmental crisis response and technological adaptation in human behavior studies.
