Dr. Jin Ho Yun

Jin Ho Yun is a postdoctoral research fellow working at the Marketing Department and Wharton Neuroscience Initiative, the Wharton School at the University of Pennsylvania. Jin obtained Ph.D. in marketing at Sungkyunkwan University (SKKU) in Seoul. He was also the recipient of a Global Ph.D. Fellowship (GPF) funded by National Research Foundation of Korea (NRF: Total Grant: 130,000 USD / 5yrs).  

His Ph.D. research aimed at understanding the mechanisms underlying moral decision-making. His present research explores the way in which consumers form relationships and equity with brands by decoding their mindsets. Specifically, he is interested in unveiling the social-emotional components consumers form within brand communities, determining which brands track the “share of mind” in their memory and knowledge, and identifying which digital channels better foster brand or ad attractions. In a separate stream, he also investigate how consumers engage in their decision-making processes regarding AI searches, financial risk-taking, and investments.

He has a keen interest in diverse arrays of analyses, including surveys, large datasets, biometrics, text mining, and field data. He thus adopt experimental designs, behavioral economics theories, cognitive science, and big data methods.
