Bora's main research interest is in the antecedents and consequences of consumers' novelty (vs. familiarity) seeking. She explores the psychological factors that shape consumers' perspective of novel (vs. familiar) things, which can explain why and how consumers prefer and adopt novel (vs. familiar) products, services, ideas, and behaviors. 

She is also interested in the effects of perceived lack of psychological control on consumer behaviors. Bora's main contribution to this area currently lies in the attempt to identify different aspects of control, advancing the understanding of the nature of psychological control. 

Her other research interests include the effect of consumers' self-broadcasting behaviors (i.e., selfie photos/videos etc.) prevalent in the current consumer culture, consumers' online rating/review behaviors, and consumer well-being and happiness.

She teaches MKF 5926 Intergrated Marketing Communication to Master's students at Caulfield.
