Lisa Vandeberg’s professional interests are driven by curiosity in understanding how communication affects people’s thinking and decisions. She obtained her PhD in Cognitive Psychology, focusing on fundamental research related to people’s mental representations and language processing. Transitioning into Communication Science, her work explores forms of prosocial communication, such as personal stories about vaccinations, aiming to elicit psychological processes that facilitate or hinder comprehension and behavior change. Her research encompasses key themes including vaccination communication, prosocial (health) communication, and communication cognition. In her vaccination research, she investigates the factors that influence individual decisions about vaccination and the biases that affect decision-making when processing vaccination information. Vandeberg aims to develop evidence-based communication strategies that can support individuals in making informed vaccination choices.
