Haiyan Wang

I am a PhD candidate at the Department of Experimental and Applied Psychology. During my PhD, my research mainly focuses on conspiracy beliefs. I am interested in why people believe in conspiracy theories and the consequences of believing in conspiracy theories. In addition to conspiracy beliefs, I am also interested in misinformation. I was funded to visit the Cambridge Social Decision-Making Lab.

I have a multidisciplinary background. I studied criminal psychology for my master's program, and as an exchange student, I studied criminal law at Soochow Univerisity in Taipei. I also have a passion for understanding why people crimes and how to prevent crime.
