معرفی
Dr. Kevin Tiede is a Research Associate (Post-Doc) at the Chair of Health Communication within the Department of Media and Communication Studies at the University of Erfurt's Faculty of Philosophy. He is also a member of the Institute for Planetary Health Behaviour (IPB). His academic journey spans prestigious institutions including the University of Konstanz, the Max Planck Institute for Human Development in Berlin, and Ohio State University in the USA.
Kevin completed his BSc (2011-2014) and MSc (2014-2017) in Psychology at the University of Koblenz-Landau, followed by his PhD in Psychology at the University of Konstanz's Graduate School of Decision Sciences (2017-2022). His research focuses on decision making under risk and uncertainty, particularly examining how information in health and climate domains can be communicated to help individuals make more informed decisions. His expertise spans risk communication, climate communication, policy acceptance, and numeracy.
Kevin's publication record demonstrates a clear progression from foundational work on statistical information processing and risk representation toward applied research on climate policy acceptance. His recent 2025 publications on enhancing perceived effectiveness of climate policies indicate a strategic shift toward addressing urgent environmental challenges through psychological insights. His work consistently bridges theoretical decision science with practical applications in health and environmental contexts.
- PhD Scholarship from German Academic Scholarship Foundation (Studienstiftung des deutschen Volkes), 2019-2021
Kevin has secured research funding through prestigious institutions including the German Academic Scholarship Foundation. His current position at the University of Erfurt's Institute for Planetary Health Behaviour suggests ongoing research in climate communication and health behavior. While his publications show significant contributions to the field, specific grant funding details beyond his doctoral scholarship are not explicitly mentioned in available materials. His work appears to be conducted within collaborative research environments at the Max Planck Institute and University of Erfurt.
Kevin is actively involved in the Institute for Planetary Health Behaviour (IPB) at the University of Erfurt, positioning his research at the intersection of psychological science and planetary health challenges. His recent focus on climate communication suggests engagement with interdisciplinary teams addressing environmental crises through behavioral science approaches. His research methodology typically involves experimental designs examining cognitive processes in decision making under uncertainty.
