The Impact of Online Information on Individual Decision-making and Well-being

在线社交消费的增加从根本上改变了我们做出经济和社会决策的方式。这有可能帮助或损害个人的主观幸福感和/或心理健康，通过一个人所做的选择。该项目寻求首先确定信息本身的特征。随后，将收集实验数据(如果需要，还将收集来自在线来源的观察数据)，以了解在线信息对个人的影响。该博士学位与EPSRC的“人机交互”研究领域最为契合。

The increase in the consumption of online social communications has fundamentally changed how we make both economic and social decisions. This has the potential to either help or harm an individual's sense of subjective well-being and/or mental health through the choices that one makes. The project seeks to first identify the characteristics of the information itself. Subsequently, experimental data will be collected (as well as observational data from online sources if required) in order to understand the impact of online information to the individual. This PhD fits in most closely with the "human-computer interaction" EPSRC research area.
