Robert Ross

I am a postdoctoral research associate in the Department of Psychology at Macquarie University in Sydney. My research focuses on the psychology of belief -- in particular, religious belief, delusional belief, and belief in misinformation. My most recent research examines why people believe in and share fake news.

I hold a PhD in Cognitive Science (Macquarie University), an MSc in Psychology (University of Auckland), and a BSc/BA in Psychology and Philosophy (University of Auckland). I've previously worked as a postdoctoral researcher at Royal Holloway University of London and the University of Oxford.
