Annika’s research interests include psychological approaches to the study of public opinion and electoral behaviour.
She has recently published on the interplay between subjective well-being and political attitudes and behaviour, on gender differences in political efficacy, and on the temporal focus of political candidates that have successful electoral strategies.
