Helen (Zheng Liu)

I obtained an M.Ed. in Educational Psychology from the University of Sydney and a B.Sc. in Psychology from both Australian National University and Southwest University. My research focuses on three main areas:

• First, I explore behavioural decision-making and its underlying psychological mechanisms. By integrating psychological experiments with cognitive modelling (e.g., reinforcement learning), I aim to enhance our understanding of real-world decision-making and offer insights for policy development.
• Second, I study social cognition, with a particular interest in how people process information related to themselves and others.
• Lastly, I value open, transparent, and reproducible research. I conduct meta research to investigate the effectiveness of the methodologies and practices (e.g., pre-registration, registered report) in psychology.

Research Field: Behavioural Decision Making, Social Cognition, Meta-research
