Thorsten Pachur is professor for Behavioral Research Methods at the TUM School of Management. Thorsten investigates adaptive cognition, that is, how the psychological mechanisms underlying thinking, reasoning, and decision making are shaped by the structure of the environment. A key idea is that successful decision making can arise from the intelligent use of simple strategies—heuristics—that exploit regularities in the environment. Thorsten’s research covers decision making under risk and judgment under uncertainty and he is also interested in the role of intuition and how decision making develops across the lifespan. In his research, Thorsten employs an integrative multi-method approach that includes behavioral experiments, computational modeling, process tracing (e.g., eye tracking), and neuroimaging.

Today, the notion of public participation receives recognition in academic and political debates, and participatory initiatives enjoy remarkable support from many governments, regulators, and funders. Yet, many challenges remain. Efforts to increase participation have been accompanied by exclusions; preframed agendas of many participation exercises have alienated unfitting perspectives; and the diversity of ways in which publics act on the issues of their concern received limited recognition.
