Dr. Oh completed his Ph.D. in marketing at Columbia University, writing his dissertation on the consumer psychology of fun, which has continued to be a main focus of his research, which 鈥減rimarily examines the underlying psychological processes and meanings of consumption experiences, with a focus on conceptualizing and investigating fun in people's lives. 鈥婤roadly, I'm interested in clarifying discrete psychological concepts related to consumer fun and how those constructs impact subsequent consumer judgment and behavior.鈥
