My Research Activities
My broad research interest lies in the study of consumer behavior, which is represented by the three streams of research I currently focus on: 1) the perception of resource availability on consumer decision-making, 2) the role of social influence in consumer behavior, and 3) the impact of visual marketing on consumer perceptions and behavior. To study these topics and examine diverse consumer behaviors, I use a variety of methodological approaches, such as laboratory and online experiments, surveys, field studies, archival data, and eye-tracking techniques.
