Research on emotions and uncertainty

In her research, Noordewier studies affective processes in situations that are unexpected, unknown, or in another way not understood. She studies the emotions associated with these situations (e.g., surprise, curiosity, confusion) and related concepts like uncertainty and lack of control. Other research interests include social exclusion, financial stress, and sustainable behaviour.

With her research, she aims to contribute to the question of when people enjoy the unknown and want to stay engaged with, for example, (technological) innovation and complex information, or when things turn out different than expected. 

At the Knowledge Centre Psychology and Economic Behaviour (KCPEG), Noordewier coordinates the research that is initiated by KCPEG.
