Biography
Dr.Adi Shaked is a social psychologist and an emotion researcher. He is particularly interested in the role of emotions, communication, and other psychological phenomena in social evaluation and social decision-making
In life, we often need to make hard choices about how to spend our limited resources, such as our time, reputation, and energy to cultivate relationships. Through repeated observations of and interactions with others, we learn to invest these resources in relationships that provide us with comfort, meaning and support. Adi is interested in the way these social decisions are shaped by the information we glean from others through communication, shared emotional experiences, and other social forces that bind people together.
