About
Kiyoshi Chiba is an emerging researcher in environmental psychology and prosocial behavior, with a focused interest in how communication shapes altruism toward future generations. His work addresses a critical barrier to climate action: the gap between knowing about environmental threats and changing personal behavior. In his most-cited study, "Assessing the effect of dialogue on altruism toward future generations: A preliminary study" (2023, 3 citations), Chiba provides foundational evidence that structured conversation can increase people's willingness to act for posterity's benefit. He extended this line of inquiry in "The effect of conversation on altruism: A comparative study with different media and generations" (2024, 2 citations), examining how the medium of dialogue—whether face-to-face or digital—and the age of participants influence altruistic outcomes. Though early in his career, Chiba’s work is notable for tackling a psychologically complex problem with practical implications for climate communication and policy. His research offers a promising pathway for designing interventions that bridge the intention-action gap, making him a researcher to watch in the growing field of intergenerational justice and behavioral change.
