My research interests are social decision making, cooperation and the role of specific emotions in social behavior. In my MA thesis I studied the influence of skill and overconfidence on tacit .coordination
In my PhD, under the guidance of my advisors Dr. Yoella Bereby-Meyer and Dr. Tal Eyal, I explore the effects of pride and joy on social preferences such as cooperation and reciprocity in social decision making.
