Madeline Jalbert, a social and cognitive psychology researcher, has started at the University of Washington’s Center for an Informed Public as a postdoctoral scholar. She studies how context and subjective experiences influence memory, judgment, and decision-making. Her work primarily focuses on factors that impact judgments of truth and risk, as well as how these judgments play out in naturalistic contexts. The goal of this work is to shed light on effective strategies for preventing and correcting the spread of misinformation.
“I’m looking forward to collaborating with researchers from different fields here at CIP,” Jalbert said. “The problems we’re all trying to tackle aren’t ones we can solve alone.”
Jalbert completed her Ph.D. in Social Psychology at the University of Southern California under the advisement of Dr. Norbert Schwarz. Prior to this, she worked in the Applied Cognition Research Lab of Dr. Ira Hyman at Western Washington University.
