Judgment and Decision Making in Organizations
Project Description
This project examines the roles of heuristics and biases in judgment and decision-making. We will conduct experiments informed by psychology and economics to examine how people make choices relevant to a business context. As there are multiple ongoing streams of research, the specific topic can be matched with your interests. See David's research to get a sense of the kind of projects you would be involved in (https://www.dhagmann.com/research/).

Applicant's Roles
Your role may include conducting a literature review, assisting with the experimental design, data collection, and data analysis. No prior specialized knowledge is required, but applicants who stay beyond one semester should be willing to learn the basics of Qualtrics and R with extensive guidance from the supervisor. You will have to complete the CITI ethics training for working with human research participants (a free, self-directed course that will take approximately 3 hours). You can join meetings with co-authors, but note that these will likely occur later in the evening HKT (morning US East Coast time).
Applicant's Learning Objectives
You will learn how to formulate and refine a research question, design an experiment, and analyze data. The project will provide you with extensive hands-on research experience and competencies in working with quantitative data.
