Biography

Miron-Shatz earned a PhD in psychology from the Hebrew University in 2005 and did her post-doctoral studies at the Center for Health and Wellbeing at Princeton University in the United States under the supervision of Nobel laureate Daniel Kahneman, till 2009.[8]

During 2008–2011 she was an adjunct lecturer and taught consumer behavior to undergraduates and MBAs at the marketing department of the Wharton School, University of Pennsylvania.[9] Miron-Shatz is currently a full professor at the Ono Academic College Faculty of Business Administration, [2] where she is the founding director of the Center for Medical Decision Making. [10]

She is also a visiting researcher at the Winton Centre for Risk and Evidence Communication, at Cambridge University in England.[4]

Academics

The focus of Miron-Shatz's work is how people perceive medical information and medical situations, and the implications for their health.[11] She explores this from several perspectives, starting with how probabilities are presented around Down syndrome, breast and prostate cancer, through how choice is made, and how people decide on medical treatments, medication, and tests. She studied shared decision making, women's regrets around birth, women's perception of their fertility chancer, and many other aspects of the medical journey, such as thank-you letters to physicians. Based on her study of patient knowledge of their own cardiac catherization, Miron-Shatz believes that inclusion in the process is important because "this translates into better adherence to medications and lifestyle changes." [12]

In a New York Times article on COVID vaccine hesitancy, she stated, "Covid has turned us all into amateur scientists.... We are all looking at data, but most people are not scientists."[13]

Miron-Shatz has also studied happiness and its determinants, including financial security.[14] Adding to the approach that placed considerable weight on daily activities as determinants of happiness, she has shown that individuals' thoughts and what they are preoccupied with, also play a major role in their happiness. She revealed that subjectively-defined peak, and mainly low moments during the day, add to the prediction of happiness.[15] In a study of life satisfaction at milestone ages, based on surveys measuring wellbeing collected from 800 women in Columbus, Ohio, Miron-Shatz found that women at milestone ages (e.g. 30, 50) were twice as likely to assess their overall happiness in terms of self-reported health. [16]

Her research was supported by a Marie Curie grant from the European Research Council, grants from the National Institute for Health Policy Research (Israel), The American Association of University Women, FCB, Pfizer Israel and Pfizer Europe.[17]

She has over 60 academic publications,[5] in venues such as Psychological Science, Emotion, Health Psychology, Journal of Medical Internet Research, MIT Press, Oxford University Press, and more.
