I am currently the head of the social psychology program at the Department of Psychology at Ben-Gurion University where I am faculty since 2008. I graduated from the social psychology program at Tel Aviv University and completed my PhD under the supervision of Nira Liberman. In my postdoctoral research, I was the lab manager at the Center for Decision Research at Booth Business School, University of Chicago, and worked with Nicholas Epley and Ayelet Fishbach.

I study how different emotions (e.g., pride vs. joy, core disgust vs. moral disgust) influence important psychological outcomes like self-control, pro-social behavior, and moral judgment. I also study what enables and what interferes with mind reading accuracy – the ability to accurately predict what is going on in other people’s minds (i.e., their emotions, beliefs, and desires).

I am a fourth year PhD Student. In my research, I am exploring how different mind perception strategies affect the accuracy of individuals' predictions regarding another person. Specifically, I am interested in testing how getting another person's perspective directly (or using a "perspective-getting" strategy) influences accuracy, when predicting another person's preferences, thoughts, or feelings. In addition, I am investigating what are the possible motivators/barriers (e.g., perceived honesty, level of comfortability, incentive) to employing such a strategy.

I am a third year PhD student, working both with Tal Eyal and with Simon Moran from the business school at BGU. In my research, I am interested in the emotional processes, especially the positive ones, that are involved in pro- and anti-social behaviors that entail potential personal costs or self-risk. My current research project focuses on the relationships between emotions, values and dishonest behaviors that benefit the self (egoistic dishonesty) versus others (altruistic dishonesty).

I am a second year PhD student, working both with Tal Eyal and with Nira Liberman from Tel Aviv University. My research concerns the perceived objectivity of moral actions. Specifically, I examine whether the perceived objectivity of moral violations is dependent on attributes such as the moral foundation they might violate, individual differences regarding held moral foundations, and specific emotions associated with the violations.

I am a first-year doctoral student in social psychology.

I am interested in the processes that enable accurately understanding the mind of the other, especially within romantic relationships. I study the relations between relationship satisfaction and the type of mind perception strategies romantic couples use, the type of strategies romantic couples expect their partners to use, and mind perception accuracy.

I am a second-year master's student in the social psychology - data science program. I earned my B.A. in psychology at the Open University of Israel.

I am interested in examining how psychological distance and effort influence the likelihood to donate money.

I am a first year masters student in the social psychology program.

In my research, I am interested in understanding the expectations adolescents have regarding the mind perception strategies they wish their parents would use to understand their mental states and whether these expectations match the strategies the parents actually use. I also plan to study whether these expectations and possible gaps between expectations and actual strategy use predict well-being and quality of relationship.

I am a first year master’s student in clinical psychology.

I completed my B.A in psychology and education at BGU.

I'm interested in mind perception

strategies in the context of the therapeutic relationship. I plan to assess the patients’ expectations of their therapists regarding the strategies that they use in therapy, the actual strategies that the therapists use, and the relationship between these factors and several factors related to treatment.

I am a first year master’s student in the social psychology - the data science program. I completed my B.A. in Behavioral Sciences at BGU.

I am interested in interpersonal judgments of conflict group members (i.e., Israeli Arabs and Jews) and in my research I examine whether continuous discussion about intergroup conflict affects these judgments.

I am a first year masters student in the social psychology program.

I completed my B.A in psychology, Sociology and Anthropology at BGU.

In my research, I am interested in the links between trust, distrust, level of abstraction, and different emotions.

I am a second year PhD student at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign. My supervisor is Prof. Chadly Stern. I'm interested in mind perception strategies in the context of intergroup relations and social categories.

I completed my BA in behavioral sciences and my MA in social psychology, both at BGU. In my MA thesis, I studied the effects of different mind perception strategies, specifically perspective taking and perspective getting, on accuracy and confidence when predicting attitudes of a person from an ideological opponent group. Specifically, my research focused on Jews and Arabs in Israel.

I completed my PhD at the Social Cognition and Emotion lab and now I work as a clinical psychologist. My research focuses on the role of abstract and concrete thinking in regulating different types of emotions that vary in the level of construal of their underlying appraisals (e.g., self-conscious vs. basic emotions, core disgust vs. moral disgust).

I am a senior lecturer in the Department of Psychology at Bar Ilan University. I study the interplay between decision making, reasoning, and emotions in various social contexts. My interdisciplinary research combines psychological theory, economic paradigms, and innovative research methods including experimental games and virtual reality, to explore how people reason and make decisions when facing conflicts between selfish and cooperative goals.

I received my Ph.D. in Social Psychology from Ben-Gurion University in 2016 under the supervision of Tal Eyal and Yoella Bereby-Meyer. I was a postdoctoral researcher in Organizational Behavior at the Coller Faculty Management in Tel Aviv University, a lecturer at Achva Academic College., and a postdoctoral researcher at the University of Waterloo, in Igor Grossmann's lab.

I am a senior lecturer at the Conflict Resolution, Management, and Negotiation Program at Bar Ilan University, Israel. I did my PhD with Tal Eyal and Nachshon Meiran at BGU and had several post doc positions, with Nira Liberman at Tel Aviv University and Willelm Hofmann at the University of Cologne, with Eliran Haleli at Bar Ilan University.

I am a cognitive psychologist that burrows from theorizing in social psychology to examine cognitive processes as well as integrates cognitive methods to study questions in the domain of social psychology.

Most of my research revolves around self-regulation, how people regulate themselves with respect to multiple, sometimes conflicting objectives: I study self-control – how people prioritize (long- and short-term) goals and the strategies they use to achieve them, goal-gradients – how people distribute effort in the course of goal pursuit to achieve optimal results, emotion – how emotion motivate actions and how people regulate emotions, and cognitive control processes – cognitive processes that promote versus hinder adaptive goal pursuit in the presence of conflicting action tendencies.

A recurrent question in both cognitive and social psychology is the interface and balance between automatic and controlled processes, which is related to the last topic mentioned above. I study this question in the context of the balance between trust versus mistrust (i.e., which situations tilt the balance towards automatically trusting other individuals), as well as in the context of self-regulation (e.g., does belief in free will make people more controlled or less automatic in choosing and pursuing their goals).

I am also interested in the informational function of emotion, with a specific interest in disgust.

A recent line of research builds on automatic associations to develop new implicit measures.

I am a faculty member at Psychology and Education Department at the Open University in Israel. I did my PhD with Yoav Bar Anan at BGU and was a post doc in Tal Eyal's lab and then in Jan de Hauwer's lab at the University of Gent in Belgium.

In one line of research, I focus on implicit social cognition. Specifically, I investigate the processes underlying and the moderators of the automatic activation of stereotypes, attitudes and beliefs. In addition, I investigate interventions for reducing automatic biases.

In another line of research, I investigate the role of construal level in the elicitation and regulation of specific emotions. For example, I investigate the differences between core and moral disgust, and between pride and joy.

I am a lecturer at the Clinical Child & Educational Psychology Program at the Hebrew University of Jerusalem. I did my PhD with Tehila Kogut at BGU and a post doc at Tal Eyal's lab. I am an educational psychologist. My major areas of teaching and research are prosocial behavior among children and adults, with special interest in the developmental patterns and the motivational mechanisms behind such behaviors. My research aims to explore the factors that may encourage prosocial behavior, from kindergarten to adulthood, while taking the prospective giver’s developmental stage into consideration.

I did my PhD with Tal Eyal and Andrea Berger. I currently pursuing an internship as a developmental psychologist.

My research focuses on the effect of discrete positive emotions, pride versus joy, on children's ability to self-regulate by delaying gratification. I explore different types of emotion phenomenology -- when the child actually experiences the emotion, when the child imagines a future emotional experience, and when the child hears about the emotional experience of another child. I am also interested in the developmental aspect of these effects.
