About Stefan Sambol
Stefan has an established research profile in the field of cognitive psychology, with a particular focus on higher-order cognitive constructs such as executive functioning, emotional intelligence, and personality. His work has contributed to understanding the intricate relationships between these constructs. Stefan's expertise has also been pivotal in interdisciplinary collaborations, including research on implicit gender biases in sports, cognitive predictors of antisocial behaviours such as fire misuse by children and adolescents, and the psychological underpinnings of conspiracy belief in adults. Stefan's ongoing research continues to explore innovative methods for assessing "hot" executive functions—our ability to regulate emotional responses in service of goal-directed behaviour. Additionally, he remains focused on identifying predictors of conspiracy beliefs and the misuse of fire by youth, striving to provide deeper insights into these critical societal issues.
