Dr. Nehemia Geva’s research interests are in the areas of foreign policy decision making and political cognition (perceptions, information processing and images in politics). His current research projects address (1) the role of affect and emotions in political decisions and (2) public reactions to military interventions and collateral damage. His research methodology emphasizes experiments and computer simulations. He developed the DecTracer, a multi-lingual web- based process tracer that has been used in experimental studies in the US, South Korea and Israel.
Dr. Geva’s research in the area of foreign policy decision making in collaboration with Dr. Alex Mintz led to the development of the poliheuristic theory of foreign policy, which they published in the co-edited book Decision Making on War and Peace: The Cognitive-Rational Debate, and in the American Political Science Review. His newer work on the cognitive calculus model of political decisions is published in the Journal of Conflict Resolution and in International Interactions. He recently contributed a chapter to the book on Intergroup Conflicts and Their Resolution: Social Psychological Perspective” (co-authored with C. Sirin).

Chin and J. Bond).
