- Consumption in Interpersonal Contexts, Consumer Financial Decision Making, Marketplace Morality, Social Influence
Olson’s research centers on consumption in interpersonal contexts, focusing on (1) dyadic influences (e.g., the interplay between financial decision making and relationship formation and quality) and (2) judgments of self and others (e.g., marketplace morality and, in particular, the inferences people draw from others' consumption choices).
