About
Keiichiro Atsumi is a researcher exploring the psychological and social mechanisms that drive altruism, particularly toward future generations in the context of climate change. His work centers on how dialogue and conversation can shift people’s willingness to act for the long-term benefit of others, even when personal sacrifice is required. In his most cited study, “Assessing the effect of dialogue on altruism toward future generations: A preliminary study” (2023, 3 citations), Atsumi provides early evidence that structured conversation can increase altruistic behavior toward 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), examining how the medium of communication and generational differences shape these effects. Though his citation counts are still growing, Atsumi’s research addresses a critical gap: why people hesitate to act on climate change despite knowing its consequences. By focusing on dialogue as a tool for behavioral change, he offers a novel, human-centered approach to one of the most pressing challenges of our time. His work is especially relevant for students and researchers interested in environmental psychology, prosocial behavior, and communication science.
