On Friday, February 21, a research workshop was held at the Institute for Tourism as part of the scientific project "Cognitive biases as a source of suboptimal decisions in tourism and (un)sustainability problems: Understanding biases for better management of tourism (BIASTOUR)", supported by the Croatian Science Foundation.
The workshop, aimed at developing the guidelines for upcoming primary research activities and providing a deeper insight into cognitive biases in the decisions of tourists and local residents that will be addressed by the project, was attended by all members of the research group and Zrinka Marušić from the Institute for Tourism. During the workshop, Assistant Professor Dr. rer. nat. Dominik-Borna Čepulić gave a lecture on cognitive biases in human decision-making, while linking them to pro-environmental and pro-social behaviors of tourists and local residents. The workshop concluded with the definition of guidelines for the development of the study protocols.
