Rate My Professor Matti Vuorre

In September 2025, Vuorre received a European Research Council Starting Grant for his project 'Testing the Technology Related Attention Decline Hypothesis,' which tests whether engagement with internet technologies contributes to declines in attention abilities, offering insights for educators, designers, and policymakers. His influential publications include 'Perceived value of video games, but not hours played, predicts mental well-being in casual adult Nintendo players' (2025, Royal Society Open Science), 'Affective uplift during video game play: a naturalistic case study' (2024, Games: Research and Practice), 'The smoke-detector principle of pathogen avoidance: a test of how the behavioral immune system gives rise to prejudice' (2025, Evolution and Human Behavior), 'Estimating signal detection models with regression using the brms R package' (2025), and 'Time spent playing video games is unlikely to impact well-being' (2022). Vuorre's scholarship has amassed over 3,300 citations on Google Scholar. At Tilburg University, he teaches Consumer Analytics Using Big Data and Research Master: Experimental Research, and supervises bachelor's and master's theses in psychological sciences. His work has been funded by the European Research Council, Economic and Social Research Council, Huo Family Foundation, Tilburg University, and the University of Oxford’s John Fell Fund.
