About
Kohei Kamaga’s research explores the psychological and behavioral mechanisms that drive altruism, with a particular focus on how dialogue can foster concern for future generations in the context of climate change. His work sits at the intersection of environmental psychology, intergenerational justice, and communication studies, asking a deceptively simple but urgent question: can conversation make us care more about those who come after us? In his most cited study, "Assessing the effect of dialogue on altruism toward future generations: A preliminary study" (2023, 3 citations), Kamaga provides early evidence that structured dialogue can shift people’s willingness to act on behalf of posterity. He extends this line of inquiry in "The effect of conversation on altruism: A comparative study with different media and generations" (2024, 2 citations), where he compares how face-to-face and digital conversations influence altruistic behavior across age groups. Though his citation counts are still growing, Kamaga’s work is notable for its timely, experimental approach to one of the most intractable problems of our era: bridging the empathy gap between present and future people. His research offers practical insights for educators, policymakers, and environmental communicators seeking to cultivate long-term thinking.
