Eliza-Rose Gordon

Eliza-Rose Gordon is a researcher at the School of Psychology at The University of New South Wales in Australia whose work focuses on understanding how people evaluate and reason about misinformation and epistemically suspect beliefs. Gordon's research interests encompass conspiracy theories, misinformation, and the cognitive processes underlying belief in implausible claims, with methodological expertise in content analysis. Recent publications by Gordon include "People who believe implausible claims are not cognitive misers: Evidence from evaluation tasks" and "Lazy or different? A quantitative content analysis of how believers and nonbelievers of misinformation reason," which challenge common assumptions about the reasoning abilities of those who accept misinformation and conspiracy theories.
