Albalooshi, S.A.E.G. (Sumaya), Dr+31 50 36 33648 My research explores the psychological consequences of inequitable wealth distribution (unevenly distributed wealth within a population) and their impact on consumers' decision making. With this line of research, my aim is to (1) further our understanding of the negative consequences of economic inequality on societally relevant outcomes, which has policy implications and enables researchers to develop relevant interventions, and (2) demonstrate how a macroeconomic condition can interact with sociological and psychological variables to predict consumer behavior.

I am deeply fascinated by what you could label "Hidden Persuasion": how subtle (and not so subtle) marketing cues influence consumers in their emotions, thoughts and behavior, frequently without them being aware of this influence. The results of this research can aid in empowering consumers and foster health and wellbeing. Please see the research page for an overview of published work in these areas

My research in economic and environmental psychology centres on understanding how lay beliefs drive social change. I explore how people's understanding of economic concepts shapes their decision-making, especially regarding environmentally conscious choices and eco-friendly consumption. I also investigate the psychological aspects of lay beliefs in other areas, such as health, examining their impact on behavior and decision-making, including the spread of conspiracy theories and vaccine uptake.

One of her scholarly focuses is the exploration of the role of requirements specification in the organization of problem-solving relationships in public and private business settings. Anna has a particular research interest in public sector purchasing and business-to-government relationships with an emphasis on how to deliver better quality public services, enhance innovation, solve societal problems, sustain the welfare system, as well as how to do business with governments as customers. Her recent research streams are dedicated to the exploration of the role of third-party involvement in public purchasing, the role of AI in how companies govern their relationships, and the role of corporate activism and abstract associations within interorganizational relationships.
