Welcome to the UChicago Oishi Lab!
We study culture, social ecology, and well-being. Our research is guided by big questions such as “What is a good life?” and “What is a good society?” We analyze all kinds of data, ranging from nationally representative surveys, mortality, GIS, and dictionaries to baseball game attendance. We like to run lab experiments. But, we also run daily diary studies. We collect all kinds of data all over the campus, cities, and the world. As my former advisor, Ed Diener said, our motto is “The globe is our lab!”
