  • Flexible measures in decision-making under risk and uncertainty

    Beschreibung: Recent analyses suggested a "proliferation of measures" in psychological research. Alike, in research on risk taking many different tasks are used to measure decision making under risk and uncertainty. But how consistently or flexibility are these tasks implemented? And how do potential differences in task implementation impact research findings?

  • Psychological processes involved in behavioral tasks of risk taking

    Beschreibung: Diverse tasks have been developed to test people's willingness to take risks. But do they all tap the same psychological processes? Or do they tap into different processes that reflect different aspects of risk-taking behavior?

  • The use of LLMs in psychological research

    Beschreibung: Large Langugage Models (LLM) are powerful tools for discovering patterns in written text and speech. How are they applied in psychology, and what techniques are available for psychological research? The goal of this project is to review and identify the various LLM methods used in psychological research, and to provide insight into the potential applications for the study of complex processes in psychology.

  • Time frame of risky choices

    Beschreibung: People make countless choices every day. Some of these choices are made in a matter of seconds, others need consideration lasting for hours, sometimes days. One factor determining the duration of a choice might be the psychological mechanisms that are at play. The goal of this project is to review how long different (classes of) psychological processes take to unfold and for how long they may exert an influence on a person's choices.

  • Affective influences in risky choices

    Beschreibung: What are the cognitive, affective, social processes underlying people's choices under risk and uncertainty? In particular, which processes may relate to inter- and intra-individual variability in risky choices? The goal of this project is to review this and related questions.

  • Risk perception: Cognitive models of opinion change

    Beschreibung: How do people perceive risks and update their perceptions in light of diverging views? Theories of opinion change are often verbal and the proposed mechanisms are rarely modeled. In this thesis, you will review the literature on cognitive and computational models of opinion change. Recommended reading: - Bramson, A., Grim, P., Singer, D. J., Berger, W.

  • How can we measure polarization of risk perceptions?

    Beschreibung: There are vast literatures on polarization and risk perception, but the two topics are rarely combined. In this thesis, you will review the relevant literature and address the research question by integrating the measurement approaches of polarization and risk perception. - Bramson, A., Grim, P., Singer, D.
