Melissa T. Buelow studies how people make decisions under risk and uncertainty, including how personality traits, emotions, and cognitive impairments (such as those from brain injury) affect performance on standard behavioral decision-making tasks like the Iowa Gambling Task. Her work also examines the reliability and real-world relevance of these tasks, as well as related topics like health decision-making (e.g., vaccine intentions), self-handicapping in academic settings, and eating behavior. This research is aimed at improving how decision-making is measured and understood in both clinical and everyday contexts.
