Research

Most of my research interests can be subsumed under the fields attitude change and judgment & decision making. I am a big fan of experimental designs and open science. 

Current Research Projects

Articulation Dynamics and (Evaluative) Judgments

I study the cognitive processes behind the articulatory in-out effect.

Attitude Learning via Co-Occurrences

I am interested in the cognitive mechanisms behind evaluative learning and their implications for consumer contexts (e.g., brand placements in video games).

Default Effects in Decision Making

Why do we often stick with the default option in a choice situation? And who is most likely to stick with the default?

Typicality, Fluency, and Familiarity

I study the effects of typicality and fluency on (evaluative) judgments.

Cognitive-Ecological Influences on (Consumer) Choices

How does the distribution of information in the environment interact with cognitive biases?

Personality and Evaluation

I study the role of interindividual differences in the appraisal of affective stimuli. 

Inaction Inertia

Why (and who) are people less likely to take an offer it they missed a larger offer on a previous occasion?

Illusory Correlations

When and how do people rely on mere baserates to infer correlations in the environment?
