More Information
I am interested in applications from prospective graduate students in the psychology program (not clinical psychology). My research focus is primarily behavioral finance (e.g., cryptocurrency, financial speculation, trading, investing), personality (e.g., HEXACO) and behavioral addictions (e.g., disordered gambling, gaming).
