We study how people make wise decisions: in everyday life, across cultures, and over time. Our work sits at the intersection of Social & Cultural Psychology and Judgment & Decision Making, with computational methods and projects on human-AI interactions and AI value alignment.
We combine survey, behavioral, and computational approaches (modeling, NLP, and large-scale analyses), and we preregister studies, share analysis code, and document everything so others can replicate and extend our work.
Wise Judgment Consortium is a global, preregistered collaboration led by our lab to map the building blocks of wise judgment across cultures.
- 15 labs · 5 continents · ~3,500+ participants so far.
- Latest update: Preregistration and Study 1 data collection (“Life’s most difficult decisions”) complete; analyses and design of data collection underway.
- Next: data lock 2025-Q4, then analysis and write-up.
