Two LEVYNA Team Members Receive Prestigious Awards
We are delighted to share that two members of the LEVYNA team have recently received major awards recognizing their outstanding research.
Our team collected data from over 600 people across three studies exploring the relationship between religiosity and charitable giving, learning how to help, as well as how religiosity affects decision-making in the health domain. Huge thanks to our dedicated research assistants who supported data collection and generously shared cultural insights, making our work better contextualized.
Members of our team were also happy to take part in a summer school organized by the Department of Anthropology from University of Connecticut, either as students or lecturers. Last but not least, we also had a chance to visit several awe-inspiring extreme rituals.
We look forward to analyzing the collected data and writing research reports from this year's expedition. Watch this space for news about those publications.

In a new paper published in Trends in Cognitive Sciences, Martin Lang, Khatereh Borhani, Alexandra Ružičková, Eva Kundtová Klocová, and Radim Chvaja propose that ritual performance and persistence can be understood through reinforcement learning.
