Overall Research Project Description This project is an economic experiment that tests lying behavior in a laboratory setting. We are interested in what factors an individual considers when making a decision on whether to lie or not. By changing the parameters of the experiment in specific ways, we can test if behavior changes in ways that are consistent with the current leading economic models.

Research Tasks Main task: Help run sessions in the lab.

Additional tasks may include preparing materials for experimental sessions, reading and discussing academic papers, data analysis, etc.

Skills that research assistant(s) may need: Your main task will be to help me run experimental sessions. No specialized skills are required for this. You must be responsible, responsive, attentive, and punctual.

If there are specialized skills that you have or would like to develop, we can choose additional tasks that allow you to apply those skills.

Mentoring Philosophy My mentoring philosophy is built on a foundation of encouraging mentee autonomy. To encourage this, I try my best to foster an environment where mentees are comfortable giving their own opinion, even if it contradicts mine. I am always open to being wrong, but I am also always open to being right. Encouraging this type of mindset in mentees allows for more open and honest communication, which will lead to more precise advice/guidance.

From there, my philosophy is fluid and depends on the individual mentee.
What are your interests and goals? What are your current skills?
With this information, I give my honest advice on how you should proceed. We discuss ways in which you can develop relevant skills, and I offer guidance as needed.

Importantly, the relationship should be beneficial to the mentee. We will work together to make sure you are able to keep up with all of your responsibilities and that you are not overworked.
