I am a postdoctoral researcher at the University of Trier. I'm particularly interested in cognitive conflicts and how people make and follow through with decisions that go against their attitudes.

This supports a core idea in ambivalence research:
People can reduce felt ambivalence through information seeking. But it’s not that simple.
Our data showed that this process can’t be fully explained by the resolution of the attitudinal conflict. 7/10

What did we find?
When people feel ambivalent about the initial information, they do seek more pieces of information about a stock’s development. This indeed helps reduce their felt ambivalence, but only if the new information is clearly positive or negative (univalent). 5/10
