Research
I investigate prosocial aspects of human behavior, such as trust, cooperation, and commitment, as well as antisocial aspects, such as dishonesty and deception. I also conduct research in the areas of economic inequality and poverty alleviation. Additionally, I have a research interest in discrimination and stigmatization, particularly of people suffering from chronic conditions.
