Biography

Shereen Chaudhry studies how people navigate social interactions and relationships, examining the patterns individuals use in language and speech acts to communicate. Utilizing game theory, she investigates how people subtly coordinate, or sometimes fail to coordinate, during conversations. Her research explores the downstream consequences of behaviors in contexts crucial for organizations, such as conflict management, negotiations, teamwork, and customer satisfaction. Chaudhry has a diverse educational background that lies at the intersection of psychology, economics, and neuroscience, with her work published in leading journals like the Journal of Personality and Social Psychology and the Psychological Review. Before her role at Booth, she was a Postdoctoral Research Fellow at the Wharton Risk Management Decision Processes Center focused on identifying risk communication strategies influenced by psychological processes.
