Research

My research lies in the area of psychology and consumer decision-making with a special interest in ethical choices, social persuasion (communication effectiveness), social media behaviours, sports, and gift-giving. I focus on consumer information processing and study how situational cues (e.g., framing and heuristics) interact with consumer's chrnoic traits/ values and inform the decisions.
