Timeless principles.
Timely results.

I am an Associate Professor

at the University of Haifa, Department of Human Services, where I direct the “Interpersonal Listening and Social Influence” lab. I obtained my Ph.D. from the School of Business Administration at the Hebrew University of Jerusalem in 2017 and was postdoctoral at the fellow University of Toronto, Rotman School of Management, from 2018-2019.

My research focuses

on the effects of high-quality listening (e.g., attentive, empathic, and non-judgmental) on facilitating changes in speakers’ emotions, cognitions, and behavior. In addition, I conduct field experiments in organizations that examine the effects of listening training on the relationship between employees and their downstream impact on organizational outcomes.

My research has appeared

in leading Applied and Social Psychology journals, such as the Annual Review of Organizational Psychology and Organizational Behavior, European Journal of Work and Organizational Psychology, Applied Psychology: An International Review, and Harvard Business Review. Journal of Experimental Social Psychology, Personality, and Social Psychology Bulletin.

In 2023, I received the early-career research award from the Attitude and Social Influence Interest groups from the Society of Personality and Social Psychology. My research has been funded by grants from Israel Science Foundation, Binational Science Foundation (Israel-U.S), and World Charity 3 Templeton Foundation.
