The COVID-19 pandemic has presented us with many new challenges. Among these challenges are new decisions that we’ve had to wrestle with, like social distancing, mask wearing, and vaccinating. These decisions have been further complicated by misinformation and political manipulation. This symposium will feature research focused on understanding these decisions and the factors that have influenced them, with the hope of improving responses to future pandemics.
The symposium is scheduled for Friday April 8, from 11am-5pm in Psychology 35. Our lineup includes Profs. Gretchen Chapman (Carnegie Mellon) and Valerie Reyna (Cornell) as well as OSU faculty Russell Fazio, Kelly Garrett, Selin Malkoc, Richard Petty, and Brittany Shoots-Reinhard.
