Diana Tamir investigates how the human mind operates at the intersection of personal and social worlds. Her research at the Princeton Social Neuroscience Lab explores how cognitive processes and behaviors occur when internal thoughts meet external social realities. Utilizing techniques such as functional neuroimaging, machine learning, and behavioral experiments, she aims to gain empirical insights into various questions concerning the self and social interaction. Her key research interests include understanding how the mind transcends the present moment, predicting individuals' future feelings and actions, the psychological effects of literary fiction on empathetic thinking, and the social, hedonic, and cognitive outcomes of self-disclosure in the digital age. Through her work, she seeks to clarify the mechanisms by which individuals navigate both their internal mental landscapes and the external social world.
