Research
Richardt’s PhD explores the predictors and trainability of pro-environmental behaviours. Richardt is especially focused on the predictors of cooperation in common-pool resource dilemmas from an experimental, developmental, and social methodological approach. He is also engaged in applying theory to guide behavioural changes and inform policymaking to improve resource management, such as household recycling.
