Rebecca Walker Reczek studies consumer psychology, focusing on how people make decisions about ethical and sustainable consumption, gift-giving, and their responses to marketing tactics like invoking 'science' or using AI and chatbots. Her work often examines the psychological biases and social dynamics that shape everyday buying and giving behavior. This research is aimed at understanding consumers better to inform both marketing practice and public policy.
Publication output has been fairly steady but with some fluctuation over the last decade, dipping in certain years (e.g., 2019, 2021, 2025) while averaging about 4 papers per year over the last five years.
