Research interests
Why do people do what they do? Why do we sometimes behave and act in ways that would never lead to something good? These two questions represent my main research interests. I am interested and aim to contribute our understanding of students’ irrational behavior as well as studetns' learning in higher education .
My research, therefore, tends to focus on:
- Procrastination
- Learning
- Academic attrition
- Behavioral intentions
