The Lab for

Social decision making & Risk

Prof. Yoella Bereby-Meyer

In our lab we study questions related to decision making in social contexts: including the study of reciprocity, trust, cooperation, fairness and honesty in social interactions. We are particularly interested in the effects of different types of reasoning (Intuitive/Deliberative) on these processes. 

​

We also study questions related to the perception of risks and risk taking in different contexts.  Specifically, we examine the construct of Passive Risks- risk brought on by inaction rather than by action and differentiate it from active risk tendency.
