My research interests are focused on the influence of individual differences (e.g.: emotions and emotion regulation strategies, personality traits and cognitive factors) on various aspects of decision making. These research interests are subordinated to the more general fields of economic psychology and cognitive psychology. Facets of the decision-making process that I have investigated in recent years include situations that involve risk and ambiguity in decision-making, gambling and bargaining tasks, as well as susceptibility to framing and other cognitive distortions involved in the decisions. The investigations undertaken have a common goal of better understanding and more accurate prediction of human decision-making behavior. Research domains: Economic Psychology, Cognitive Psychology.

My research interests stand at the intersection of educational psychology, developmental psychology and health psychology. I am mainly interested in investigating the relationship between social-emotional competencies, attachment and children’s risk for psychopathology. Furthermore, I am focused on applied research activities from developing assessment measures for evaluating children’s mental health status to designing and evaluating the effectiveness of prevention programs intended to reduce risk for emotional and behavioral problems in children and young adults. Also, my current interests are associated with health promotion activities and designing interventions for improving children’s coping with chronic illness.
