Aaron Shine

Aaron Shine

Aaron is currently pursuing a PhD in consumer judgment and decision-making at the University of Bath.  He is interested in the concept of altruism; specifically, the motivations behind helping others, but also its effect on observer judgements. His current research focuses on the ways in which companies support social causes, and how that impacts consumers’ choices.

Being from the UK, he is a big football fan, and he also loves playing snooker – it’s like pool but much more frustrating!
