Frenk van Harreveld obtained his Ph.D. at the University of Amsterdam. Subsequently, he worked for the world's largest consulting firm, Accenture, after which he returned to the University of Amsterdam. He has worked as a visiting researcher at the University of California, Berkeley, and the University of Massachusetts, Amherst.
His research mainly concerns attitudes and decision making, and on both topics he has particular interest in various forms of evaluative conflict. Other research interests include processes underlying attitudinal judgment, emotion management, visceral drives, and thought processes in expert behavior such as chess.
