Overview

Cornelia Betsch is affiliated with the Bernhard Nocht Institute for Tropical Medicine in Germany and has an extensive research background primarily in the social sciences with a focus on health-related topics. Their work spans several subfields including health, sociology and political science, modeling and simulation, cognitive neuroscience, and clinical psychology.

The scientist's research interests concentrate on important societal and health challenges such as vaccine coverage and hesitancy, COVID-19 epidemiological studies, misinformation and its impacts, psychology of moral and emotional judgment, COVID-19 and mental health, SARS-CoV-2 and COVID-19 research, and influenza virus research studies.

Recent papers authored or co-authored by Betsch demonstrate their involvement in behavioral and social dimensions of public health, particularly related to the COVID-19 pandemic. These include:

  • Monitoring behavioural insights related to COVID-19 (2020, The Lancet)
  • Social and behavioral consequences of mask policies during the COVID-19 pandemic (2020, Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences)
  • Ten considerations for effectively managing the COVID-19 transition (2020, Nature Human Behaviour)
  • How behavioural science data helps mitigate the COVID-19 crisis (2020, Nature Human Behaviour)
  • Vaccination as a social contract (2020, Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences)

Betsch has collaborated frequently with a core group of co-authors including Philipp Sprengholz, Lars Korn, Sarah Eitze, Lisa Felgendreff, and Philipp Schmid, reflecting a sustained research network.

Their publications are mainly featured in reputable scientific outlets such as Psychology Archives, Nature Human Behaviour, Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, PLoS ONE, and BMC Public Health.

In addition to articles, Betsch has contributed to book publications, notably with the Swiss School of Archaeology in Greece, which published their work titled The COVID-19 vaccine communication handbook: A practical guide for improving vaccine communication and fighting misinformation in 2021.
