In addition to my primary research areas, I have contributed to a range of projects spanning meta-science, cognitive reflection, and public engagement.
My meta-science research focuses on improving research practices, transparency, and methodological rigour. This includes work on open scholarship, open science education, and the reporting and development of psychological measures. Current projects examine the state of scale development reporting practices and how measurement research can be made more transparent and reproducible.
I have also contributed to work on individual differences in reasoning and decision-making. Recent work has explored cognitive reflection across cultures, while ongoing projects examine the psychometric properties of a revised Cognitive Reflection Test measures using modern measurement approaches.
Although these topics are diverse, they are connected by a common interest in how we generate, evaluate, and communicate evidence.
