Psychological Association

Dr. Lee and Emilia Kasprzak presented their “Rejection Sensitivity and Conspicuous Spending: How Social Experiences Influence Consumer Behaviour in Socially Anxious Individuals.” This project was a collaborative effort with the University of Waterloo, with the opportunity to work closely with Professor Dr. David Moscovitch and lab coordinator Kashish Kahlon from the Social Anxiety Research Lab.
