Since November 2020, Dominik Neumann has worked as postdoctoral researcher in the Junior Research Group Social Media. His main fields of interest are the role of social media in information-processing and decision-making; specifically, with respect to media users’ risky, moral, and social decisions. Currently, he focuses his work on the availability of (social) information and its effects on socially driven cognitive and affective processes (e.g., “fear of missing out”). He is further interested in the role of public personas (e.g., influencers, institutions, firms, and politicians) with respect to furthering and developing moral values and societal well-being.
In 2017, Dominik Neumann graduated from Ruhr University Bochum with a bachelor’s and master’s degree in Management and Economics. In August 2020 he received his doctoral degree in Information and Media from the Department of Advertising and Public Relations at Michigan State University (MI, USA) where he explored the Fear of Missing Out. Throughout his time at Michigan State University he gained valuable experience as an instructor of record (Research Methods and Consumer Behavior). He further worked as a research assistant and data scientist for the departments of Communicative Sciences and Disorders and Media and Information.Clayton, R. B., Raney, A. A., Oliver, M.
