I conduct research within the emerging field of behavioral decision-making. My primary research topic is the development and evaluation of mathematical models of individual and group decision-making. My recent work examines how individuals integrate multiple pieces of information when making a decision and the "rationality" of various decision strategies. I am also interested in evaluating the performance of various decision rules in the context of the linear model.

Dr. Clintin Davis-Stober is an assistant professor in the Department of Psychological Sciences at the University of Missouri. He holds a Ph.D. in Quantitative Psychology and an M.S. in Mathematics from the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign. He was recently awarded the American Psychological Association (APA), Division 5: Evaluation, Measurement, and Statistics 2010 Distinguished Dissertation Award for his work on modeling stochastic choice.
