Biography
editMiron-Shatz was awarded her PhD in psychology from the Hebrew University of Jerusalem in 2005 and conducted 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, until 2009.[4]
From 2008 to 2011, she was an adjunct lecturer and taught consumer behavior to students at the marketing department of the Wharton School, University of Pennsylvania.[5] Miron-Shatz is currently a full professor at the Faculty of Business Administration at the Ono Academic College, where she is the founding director of the Center for Medical Decision Making.[6]
She is also a visiting researcher at the Winton Centre for Risk and Evidence Communication at Cambridge University, England.[3]
Academics
editThe focus of Miron-Shatz's work is how people perceive medical information and medical situations, and the implications for their health.[5] 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."[7]
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."[8]
Miron-Shatz has also studied happiness and its determinants, including financial security.[9] 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 has revealed that subjectively defined peak, and mainly low moments during the day, add to the prediction of happiness.[10] In a study of life satisfaction at milestone ages, based on surveys measuring well-being 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.[11]
Her research has been 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.[12]
