Eugenia Polizzi di Sorrentino is a researcher at ISTC-CNR, interested in social dynamics, cooperation, and decision-making processes. Her work focuses on understanding human behavior in social settings, particularly the evolution of social norms against misinformation, and the collective dynamics the emerge in both digital and real environments. By combining behavioral experiments, computational modeling, and theoretical frameworks, she investigates the proximate mechanisms of human behavior, examining how social influence, belief formation, and collective decision-making operate in different contexts, especially those where individual interests and collective outcomes may conflict. This focus builds on her earlier work on non-human primates, aimed at tracing the evolutionary roots of our sociality.
