Marco Lauriola is a Full Professor of Psychology at Sapienza University of Rome and a specialist in psychometrics, decision-making, and personality assessment. His work focuses on how individual differences shape probability judgment, risk perception, ambiguity attitudes, uncertainty intolerance, and risky choices. After earlier training in health psychology and health statistics, and he later completed postdoctoral research in psychometrics. His academic career has been closely tied to Sapienza, where he has taught, conducted research, and contributed to doctoral training for many years. Lauriola’s research combines theory and measurement. He has produced original contributions on the psychology of risk, including studies of behavioral risk tasks, framing effects, and the role of emotion regulation in decision-making. In more recent work, he has helped develop a temperament-based view of risk-related personality traits, arguing that risk-taking reflects a broader set of traits rather than a single dimension. Beyond his research on risk, he has also worked on the construction and validation of psychometric instruments and on the application of statistical methods such as factor analysis and structural equation modeling to psychological data. He has published in personality psychology, psychometrics, and behavioral decision-making, and he has also served as a reviewer and contributor to the academic community through teaching and editorial activity.
