RESEARCH INTERESTS

My research interests lie in the areas of prosocial and help-seeking behaviors. I am interested in investigating
how help-seeking influences the actions and perceptions of individuals and others around them, particularly
in terms of decision-making, contagion effects and prosocial behavior. Other topics that I am interested in
include mindfulness, social exclusion and scarcity.
