Higher Degree by Research Candidate
School of Psychology
Faculty of Health and Medical Sciences
I am a PhD Candidate and research/teaching assistant in the School of Psychology at the University of Adelaide. My research concerns the association between conspiracy theory beliefs, how people may interpret information in the era of social media, and critical reasoning skills. I have also worked in the research areas of gambling, cryptocurrency investment and internet gaming disorder. My research interests include why people form any and all misbeliefs, that is, beliefs not based on objective facts or reality, heuristics and biases in thinking and the area of behavioural addictions (gambling and technology).
