Research Interests
Aviva researches the marketing of innovations, consumer morality, and consumer well-being.
One of her lines of research examines how consumers perceive new innovations, and the inferences they make about them. Some of her recent work in this line has identified why consumers are antiscience, and how to change that.
Her work also examines marketplace morality, with a focus on how consumers respond to moral transgressions in the marketplace, as well as when they behave prosocially.
