Andrea Low

I am a doctoral student at UCLA Anderson in the Behavioral Decision Making area.

Current Research

My current projects examine individual attitudes towards organizations, including how individuals respond to organizational interventions, as well as the beliefs they hold about organizations, particularly bureaucracies. I also study the universal mindset and how beliefs about oneself and others influence decision-making. I apply these insights to organizational behavior, education, and healthcare contexts.

​

I prioritize using a mixed-methods approach in my research, in particular combining field and lab studies to study how interventions affect choices in natural contexts, and understand the specific psychological mechanisms that give rise to these effects.
