Short CV
Leticia Rettore Micheli is an Assistant Professor at the unit of Social, Economic and Organisational Psychology. In her research she investigates how situations of inequality, unfairness and scarcity influence our psychology as well as our behavior when interacting with others.
Leticia Rettore Micheli obtained her master degree in Cognitive Neuroscience from Radboud University Nijmegen and her PhD in Neuroeconomics from Maastricht University. During her PhD she investigated the effects of inequality on social and consumer decision-making. She then worked as a postdoctoral researcher at Leibniz University Hannover and Würzburg University, investigating the role of social cognition in social decision-making. Since 2022, Leticia works at Leiden University as Assistant Professor of Social, Economic and Organisational Psychology.
Research
In her research, Leticia investigates how situations of inequality, unfairness and scarcity influence social and consumer decision-making and what the neural mechanisms underlying such decisions are. Specifically, she investigates how different types of inequality (e.g., inequality in outcomes or inequality in opportunities) affect our decisions, and how people think situations of inequality should be addressed.
Leticia is interested in exploring people’s perceptions of inequality, unfairness and economic mobility and how such perceptions influence behavior. In her work, Leticia adopts an interdisciplinary approach, using insights and methods from Psychology, Economics and Neuroscience.
Leticia is also interested in Open Scholarship and committed to incorporating its principles into her work, teaching and mentoring. Since 2019, Leticia is a community manager at the Framework for Open and Reproducible Research Training (FORRT).
