Research activity per year

Personal profile

Research interests

I study questions related to decision-making in social contexts: including the study of reciprocity, trust, cooperation, fairness, and honesty in social interactions. I am particularly interested in the effects of different types of reasoning (Intuitive/Deliberative) on these processes.
I also study questions related to the perception of risks and risk-taking in different contexts.  Specifically, I examine the construct of Passive Risks- risk brought on by inaction rather than by action and differentiate it from active risk tendency.
