Jorg J M Massen

I am a comparative psychologist specializing in social cognition. Currently I work as an Assistant Professor at the Animal Behaviour and Cognition group of Utrecht University (NL). My research mainly focuses on the proximate mechanisms underlying animal social relations, with special interest in cooperative and prosocial behaviours. To understand the evolution of these behaviours, I employ a broad comparative approach, focusing on a variety of primate and bird species.
