Welcome!

My name is Tobias R. Rebholz, and I am a quantitative psychologist and econometrician. I currently serve as a visiting research scholar in the Management and Organizations Area at the Fuqua School of Business, Duke University, in North Carolina, USA. Prior to this, I was a postdoctoral research associate in the Social Cognition and Decision Sciences group at the Department of Psychology, University of Tübingen, Germany.

I earned my PhD in 2023 from the DFG-funded Research Training Group Statistical Modeling in Psychology (SMiP)—a transregional collaboration involving the Universities of Mannheim, Freiburg, Heidelberg, Landau, and Tübingen. My doctoral dissertation, titled Advanced Statistical Modeling of Ecological Constraints in Information Sampling and Utilization, is openly available at http://doi.org/10.15496/publikation-83023.

My research centers on quantitative methods in social cognition and judgment and decision-making (JDM). A key theme in my current work is quantifying the informational influence of qualitative information—such as those generated by large language models (LLMs) like OpenAI’s ChatGPT and Google’s Gemini—on human JDM.
