Research Interests
Dr. Deval’s research focuses on consumer behaviour, especially inference processes. In everyday judgments consumers rely on limited information, using a variety of inferential strategies to “fill in the gaps� left by incomplete information and insufficient knowledge. Her research includes the use of naïve theories as inference rules, sensitivity to missing information and social influence strategies.
