| Research topics: My research focuses on judgment and decision making, economic psychology, and information processing. This includes research on the affective and cognitive mechanisms underlying prosocial behavior, ownership and risk perception. Current research projects examine emotion regulation and other psychological drivers underlying charitable giving, scope sensitivity in life-saving contexts, the role of psychological ownership in economic decision making, and risk perception in the domains of health and privacy preferences.
