Biography
Kirstin Appelt recently received her Ph.D. in Psychology from Columbia University. Her dissertation research (with Tory Higgins) investigated strategy in negotiations, particularly how different strategies fit different people.

As a post-doc with CRED, Kirstin is continuing to pursue her research interests in temporal discounting and individual differences in decision research. In collaboration with Elke Weber, Kirstin is exploring why people are impatient -- both for gains and for losses. To help answer whether individual differences (such as agreeableness or indecisiveness) affect decisions, Kirstin (with Kerry Milch, Michel Handgraaf, and Elke Weber) has created the Decision Making Individual Differences Inventory (DMIDI; www.dmidi.net), which catalogues and describes over 145 individual differences measures commonly used in decision research.
