Christian Unkelbach is Professor of Social Psychology at the Department of Psychology, Faculty of Humanities, University of Cologne, where he leads the Unkelbach Group. His research spans multiple domains of social and cognitive psychology with significant contributions to understanding evaluative processes. His primary research interests include Social Cognition, Evaluative Judgments, Information Ecologies, Stereotypes and Prejudice, Evaluative Learning, Fluency Effects, and Sport Psychology. Unkelbach's work examines how humans process evaluative information in social contexts, with particular focus on the truth-by-repetition effect , evaluative conditioning , and cognitive ecological frameworks that explain why certain information patterns dominate social cognition. His research demonstrates how repetition increases belief in information , how attributes become associated through mere pairings , and why positive information is processed more efficiently than negative information. Analysis of his recent publications reveals a consistent trajectory examining the relativity of social cognition , truth effects across contexts , and metacognitive awareness of cognitive biases . His work increasingly integrates cross-linguistic perspectives and examines real-world applications in media consumption and social judgment.

Ian A. Anderson is a Postdoctoral Scholar Research Associate in Computational Neuroscience of Social Media and Emotion at the California Institute of Technology (Caltech), working under Professor Dean Mobbs. His research bridges social psychology and computational methods to investigate habitual behaviors in digital environments, with significant contributions to understanding misinformation spread and online engagement patterns. His academic credentials include: BA in Economics and Political Science from Swarthmore College (2013) MS in Management (Marketing and Consumer Psychology) from INSEAD (2019) MA (2021) and PhD in Social Psychology from the University of Southern California (2024) Anderson's research centers on psychological mechanisms underlying social media interactions, particularly how automatic processes drive online behaviors like scrolling, posting, and sharing. He examines intersections of habit formation with hate speech, conspiracy theories, identity expression, and well-being, employing mixed-method approaches including NLP, experimental designs, and advanced statistical modeling. His work reveals how habitual actions often operate independently of conscious motivation, challenging assumptions about user agency in digital spaces. Analysis of his publications shows a consistent trajectory toward understanding the neural and psychological foundations of social media habits. His PNAS-featured work demonstrates how misinformation sharing functions as automatic behavior rather than deliberate bias, while later studies explore interventions for breaking harmful digital patterns. This research program uniquely combines computational neuroscience with social psychology to address contemporary challenges in online ecosystems. Key recognitions include: Communicator of the Year 2023 (USC Dornsife College) Honorable Mention for Psych of Tech Dissertation Award 2022 Though currently in a postdoctoral role without formal advisees, Anderson actively collaborates across institutions including USC, Caltech, and the CERES Lab. His grant-funded projects investigate adolescent well-being, hate speech reporting mechanisms, and cross-platform misinformation dynamics. He maintains strong industry connections through past social media consultancy work while advancing academic research agendas. At Caltech, Anderson contributes to Professor Mobbs' research group focusing on the neuroscience of social media engagement. His collaborative network spans the CERES Lab (adolescent studies), INSEAD (marketing psychology), and interdisciplinary teams developing habit-intervention frameworks for digital well-being.
