Description

Culture matters for innovation, say entrepreneurs and politicians. But their high expectations raise questions. How do professional, urban or organizational cultures help the new to emerge? When does intercultural confrontation foster creative potentials? Can artistic interventions change
the pace with which innovations develop and spread? Are there general patterns or rules to guide organisations or political decision makers when they plan to innovate?

Abstract

This project investigates persistent health inequalities in affluent societies, focusing on the psychological mechanisms and environmental factors that shape health-related decision-making across socioeconomic groups. Despite universal healthcare coverage and extensive public health initiatives, significant disparities in health behaviours and outcomes persist along socioeconomic lines. 

The project draws on the Uncontrollable Mortality Risk Hypothesis to examine how perceptions of control over mortality risk influence health investment decisions. The hypothesis suggests that individuals who perceive their mortality risk as less controllable may be less motivated to invest in long-term health.
