Research

Here at the AADM Lab we have three major lines of research. We try to understand the psychological underpinnings of healthcare overutilization and underutilization; why people sometimes seek out low value care and avoid high value care. We also examine the consequences of intuitive versus deliberative thought modes, as well as how to measure such constructs. Also, much of our research touches how affect and emotions influence judgments and decisions. There is considerable overlap between each of these lines of research.
