Bart Terwel graduated in psychology at Leiden University with a specialization in Social and Organizational Psychology in 2004. His thesis focused the effects of heuristics (i.e., rules of thumb) and time pressure on making use of integrative potential in negotiations. After graduating, he started as a PhD student at the department of Social and Organizational Psychology. Supervised by Dr. Fieke Harinck, Prof. Dr. Naomi Ellemers, and Dr. Dancker Daamen, he conducted research on public trust in organizations that are involved in the development of and decision-making about carbon dioxide (CO2) capture, transport, and storage technology (CCS). Upon completion of his dissertation in 2008, he worked as an assistant professor at the S&O department. Since 2009, he works a post-doctoral researcher and performs follow-up research on public perceptions of CCS.
