  • Psychological processes in risky choice

    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.

  • 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 the how long different (classes of) psychological processes take to unfold and for how long they may exert an influence on a person's choices.

  • 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.
