  • Dr. Hadar is a faculty member at the Baruch Ivcher School of Psychology at Reichman University and the head of the MA program in Behavioral Economics. Before joining the faculty, she completed her post-doctoral studies at Princeton University as a Fulbright Fellow. She completed her bachelor's, master's, and doctoral degrees at Tel Aviv University, in psychology and philosophy, cognitive psychology, and social psychology, respectively.

    Dr. Hadar's research examines how people are affected by their place in a social hierarchy where there are people who control more resources than others, and the ways in which this affects how we think and behave. Her research shows that a sense of power affects cognitive performance, pro-social behavior, and risk-taking.
