Diederik A. Stapel
Diederik A. Stapel is Professor of Consumer Science at Tilburg University and Director of Tiber. Stapel's research concerns judgment and decision making. In particular, he studies the interplay between unconscious affective and non-affective processes and their consequences on person and self judgments. Recently, he has started a series of projects that all center around using social cognition knowledge and techniques to further our understanding of consumer behavior. For example, Diederik is studying how subtle contextual features may influence advertising effectiveness and how and when an endorser's knowledge, expertise, or attractiveness (e.g., Claudia Shiffer sells chairs versus cosmetics) is a persuasive advertising tool.

Jan Potters
Jan Potters is Professor of Economics at Tilburg University and Academic Director of CentERlab, the laboratory for experimentation in economics and business. He uses experiments to study individual economic behavior as well as interaction in games and markets. In one series of projects he explores the conditions and institutions that affect the degree of cooperation, such as, role of leadership, the structure of information exchange, the role of sunk costs, and the type of strategic interaction. Another project examines when and why people are willing to take financial risks. In this project ample attention is paid behavioral economic concepts such as loss aversion and mental accouting.
