Amongst others, I studied the effects of the perceived safety climate within the organization, self-efficacy and the expected benefits and barriers of cybersecure behaviour on… Show more CEO fraud, data leaks and phishing are at an all time high.

During my master degree in Behavioural Change I was a member of the board for student association B-Change. Tasks included general management of the student association, leading and coordinating committees, promotion of events and developing and maintaining the website.

During this 6-month internship I researched various determinants that could increase the amount of people opening a newsletter of the AFM. Through A/B-testing and analyzing the data through Google Analytics, I tested different headlines for the newsletter aimed at 1) invoking curiosity, 2) emphasizing the opportunity for gaining knowledge and 3) decreasing cognitive load of the reader. The intervention that was aimed at invoking curiosity was most effective.
