Stylianos Syropoulos

Stylianos Syropoulos is a researcher at Arizona State University's School of Sustainability whose work spans intergenerational decision-making, proenvironmental behaviors, climate action, and moral psychology. Syropoulos investigates how concern for future generations motivates present-day prosocial behavior and collective action, with particular attention to the psychological mechanisms underlying altruism, moral expansiveness, and cross-cultural differences in values. Syropoulos also examines the intersection of politics and well-being during periods of democratic change, exploring how partisan affiliation and trust in institutions shape individual happiness and support for public initiatives. The researcher's published work integrates experimental, longitudinal, and large-scale observational methods to understand moral reasoning, identity-based decision-making, and the factors that promote or impede human concern for distant others across time and geography.
