Research overview
My research explores how people process and react to human-machine replacement (job automation, production by autonomous technology). In addition to this line of inquiry, I study goal striving behavior, and work on how people can stay motivated in the advanced stages of the goal pursuit. I employ a mix of methods to address my research questions, including lab/online panel studies, field experiments, and secondary data analysis.
