Member of the Knowledge Construction Lab
Since January 2016, Hannah Greving has been working as scientist in the Knowledge Construction lab where she investigates perceived fragility and credibility of scientific knowledge and effective science communication. Before doing so, she had also studied knowledge transfer in citizen science projects as well as emotional reactions in reports about negative events on Wikipedia. She has been working at the IWM since September 2010 where she began as a scientist in the Social Processes lab. During that time, she investigated the role of emotions for health-related knowledge acquisition on the Internet.
Hannah Greving studied psychology at the University of Groningen in the Netherlands with the main foci on social psychology, scientific research, and work and organizational psychology. She completed her subsequent PhD at the IWM in March 2015, in which she investigated behaviors and consequences of health-related information search on the Internet.
