Michael (Mike) Harari's research deals broadly with how people experience their work and careers and how these experiences affect their thoughts, feelings, and behaviors. His work often incorporates personality theory and meta-analytic research methods.

Collecting valid survey data is absolutely critical, but how to best administer surveys to collect meaningful data is not well understood. I hope to contribute to this body of work through my involvement in the Behavioral Insights Lab. I am excited about the role that the Behavioral Insights Lab can play in getting more students involved in the research process.
