6. RESEARCH INTERESTS
My research interests lie in Social and Economic Psychology. I am interested in the social and
cognitive processes that determine animalistic and mechanistic, inter-personal and inter-group
dehumanization, as well as self dehumanisation.
I also work on the social and psychological factors that affect cooperation, fairness, trust and
opportunism, as well as the rational and irrational factors that affect strategic choices in social
dilemmas, within the framework of Game Theory. Finally I work on issues of social thinking
(social representations, beliefs, common knowledge, conventions)¸ self-determination, locus
of control and psychological well-being.
