The cognitive science of health beliefs and decision-making
There are objectives and outcomes for my project, and also for the residency (which are of course connected). I will discuss the former in the following section on my methodology, and here elaborate my objectives for the residency.
My objective is to write and submit at least three manuscripts to scientific journals during the month-long residency. The idyllic environment amongst other scholars on Lake Geneva will foster this kind of writing productivity.
In addition, I hope to learn from the other researchers, scholars, and professionals there about their work. As said above, applying my research to health is a new endeavour, and I want to learn from experts in their fields.
Further, my objective is to make connections with public health organisations. I want to learn what their organization’s objectives are concerning beliefs, behaviour, and decision-making, and to see how my expertise may be in service. I aim my work to have impact beyond publication in scientific journals, and making connections with health organisations will be key for broader impact.
