M.A. Students at our lab
Keren Abu
Keren is an M.A. student in social psychology and graduated with a B.Sc in Cognitive and brain sciences and psychology. Keren's MA thesis focuses on Information Preferences as a function of language, whether people are more likely to want to know information when presented in a foreign language than in their native language.
Adi Bitan
Adi Bitan is an M.A. student in Social Psychology with a specialization in Data Science. Her research is conducted under the joint supervision of Prof. Yoella Bereby-Meyer and Dr. Almog Simchon (Computational Social Psychology lab).
Her research focuses on medical decision-making, thinking patterns (system 1 & 2) and AI aversion, with an emphasis on early medical detection scenarios where AI outperforms human physicians in accuracy. The study investigates how evidence-based versus intuition-based thinking patterns relate to AI aversion and the subsequent choice between a human physician and medical AI. Furthermore, it examines whether perspective-taking that emphasizes adherence to evidence succeeds in reducing this aversion and influencing that choice.
