Anna is a Social and Organizational Psychology assistant professor in the Psychology
Department at Bar Ilan University. She is interested in the ways people think about,
navigate, and resolve interpersonal and intergroup conflicts, focusing on emotional,
metacognitive, and motivational processes. She also studies decision-making and
social perception.

Children develop social groups concepts and attitudes that shape the way they relate to people from different groups. These processes arguably differ between children from majority and high-status groups, and children from minority and lower-status groups. My research has been focusing on these differences: describing them and attempting to understand the causes for the differences.
 

My research focuses on decision-making, intergroup relations, and gender. I explore how these factors interact to shape behavior and outcomes in social and organizational contexts

My research focuses on emotion and self-regulation, motivation, and conflict resolution in interpersonal and intergroup relations.

My research examines the differential impact of feedback from different sources (AI versus human) on creative self-efficacy and actual performance. The research especially emphasizes how the valence of feedback (positive or negative) and its source influence perceptions of creative self-efficacy.

My research examines the role of wise reasoning in third-party intervention in conflict. I focus on how wise reasoning relates to the willingness to intervene, the choice of a conciliatory style, and the outcome appraisals of the intervention.

My research explores the emotional and behavioral responses of third parties in conflict situations. Specifically, I examine whether fulfilling the psychological needs of the victim influences third-party anger toward the offender and their willingness to maintain a relationship or further interaction with them.

My research focuses on the relationship between wise reasoning, conflicts, and relationship satisfaction in romantic partnerships. I explore how different aspects of wise reasoning influence the way individuals navigate and reflect on romantic conflicts, and how these cognitive strategies relate to overall satisfaction within the relationship.

My research focuses on the relationship between social media use, emotional regulation, and psychological well-being among young adults. Specifically, I examine how emotional regulation influences the link between engagement with platforms like TikTok and experiences of loneliness and subjective and emotional well being

My research examines how wise reasoning influences corporate social responsibility (CSR) perceptions amoung employees. Using correlational experimental designs, it explores hoe wisdom-based reasoning can enhance practices within oraganizations.

I aim to examine whether there is a way to influence the manner in which people act as third parties in conflicts that don't directly involve them.

My research investigates the effects and mechanisms underlying the relationship between self-distancing strategies and emotional regulation. Specifically, the extant literature demonstrates that recalling negative autobiographical events from a third-person perspective yields more adaptive emotional outcomes compared to first-person recall. However, the fundamental question that drives my investigation is: what are the underlying mechanisms? To address this, I am employing a statistical mediation framework to examine the psychological processes

Dora Simunovic is a social and cognitive psychologist, focusing on intergroup dynamics determining patterns of conflict and cooperation in heterogeneous societies. She works on topics like sustainable resource management, anti-minority discrimination, socio-political polarization, and social cohesion.

Avigail research examined whether wise reasoning moderates the relationship between gender and denial of gender wage gaps.
Today Avigail is an Education Corps Advisor, responsible for officers' selection, assessment, and leadership development processes.

In my research, I examined the effect of daily self-distancing training on emotion regulation, rational thinking, and relationship satisfaction with the aim of understanding how adopting an external perspective during marital conflicts can contribute to emotional well-being and healthier relationships. 
Today I work in the field of human resources at CBC Israel (Coca-Cola), focusing on recruiting employees, with a desire to combine the worlds of psychology and organizational work.

My research examined discrimination between women and men in hiring during the couple's pregnancy.
Today I work as a training coordinator on the Jerusalem Light Rail. I lead the operation and management of the LMS system, centralization and control of training data, implementation of organizational learning processes and end-to-end training coordination. Includes close interface with the Ministry of Transportation, training providers and external professionals.
