Conspiracy Belief

I am interested in how context predicts conspiracy belief. My current projects include:

1. How the political beliefs of the people in your surroundings predict how likely you are to believe conspiracy theories, and which theories you believe.
2. If people can recognize the conspiracy theories they believe as conspiracy theories.
3. Using machine learning to identify conspiratorial language in text.

Metascience

I am interested in the status of social psychology, and predictors of best practices in social science research. My current projects include:

1. How institutional prestige predicts sample size.

Previously published projects I have been a part of include:

1.The state of social and personality psychology.
2.Why some researchers do not adopt best practices.
