Berkeley J. Dietvorst
My research focuses on consumer and managerial decision making. Specifically, I aim to understand how people use information to make judgments and decisions, particularly in risky or uncertain domains. My main stream of research investigates the psychology of prediction, with an emphasis on how consumers and managers use predictive algorithms to make forecasts and choices. In my other research, I study other cases of judgment and decision making under risk or uncertainty, including consumers’ attitudes toward corporate experiments, researchers’ use of replication to assess generalizability, consumers’ risk preferences, choice architecture, people’s ability to disregard discredited information, and the consequences of performance expectations for persistence.
