Author: Francisco Cruz
Francisco is a Social Psychology Ph.D. student at the University of Lisbon and a Visiting Student Research Collaborator at Princeton University. His doctoral research focuses on the cognitive underpinnings of skepticism towards psychological science and the tendency for general audiences to devalue psychology relative to other sciences. His research interests are broad, with work on face and word processing, trust in trespassing expert testimony, and perceptions of heterogeneity in social groups. Francisco is passionate about science communication and public outreach initiatives, collaborating as an op-ed for a Portuguese blog on psychology called Cruamente and having worked as an Editor for the Journal of European Psychology Students.
