My research focuses on the applicability of social cognitive theories to applied domains like health behavior, food choices, and consumer decisions. In my dissertation, I investigated whether viewing health as changeable (i.e., implicit theories) can help individuals to adopt a healthier lifestyle. I am also interested in studying the psychological factors that influence food choices. Besides that, I am working on projects about brand anthropomorphism and effort justification.
