My current research interests are: (1) social influences on decision making, gambling, and the illusion of control; (2) framing effects; (3) regulatory focus and role models
Here are some of my current research projects:
- why, how, and when exposure to role models strengthens the persuasiveness of a message, according to regulatory fit theory (With L. Bosone, france)
- Social influences on gambling (with V. Le Floch, France)
- Time perspective and regulatory focus in messages framing: Applications to health behaviors promotion (with N. Fieulaine, France)
--Time perspective and control in self-regulation theory: Applications to non-addictive substance use (with N. Fieualine, France)
--Conformity and norms in time perspective and desire for control (with N. Fieulaine, France)
Some of my past projects include:
