Description

In this study I research the "right to be forgotten" on the Web (the right to have search engines such as Google not show certain information about one’s past in their search results). There is plenty of old and new information available about individuals on the Web. Old information tends to become out of date and out of contexts and should therefore receive a lower decision weight by decision makers (for example when an employer searches for information about a job applicant, he should discount the old bad information that he finds about the applicant). In this research I investigate whether this is actually the case or if humans fail to take the age of information into account in their decision making.

I'm interested in this project. What should I do next? Now that UR-Linked has helped you to identify a faculty project that interests you and for which you might be qualified, be sure to review the essential steps in contacting a potential faculty mentor.

The Director of Undergraduate Research, Dr. Jane Greer., can provide you with further guidance about finding and connecting with faculty mentors at UMKC.

Once you have reviewed the essential steps to prepare for connecting with a potential faculty mentor, you can use the "Contact Details" for this project to connect with the faculty member and to begin a conversation about how you might get involved.
