Kristy A. Martire

Kristy A. Martire is a psychologist at the School of Psychology at the University of New South Wales, Australia. Martire's research addresses how people evaluate evidence and expertise, with work spanning forensic science communication, juror decision-making, and the comprehension of statistical and probabilistic information presented by expert witnesses. Additional research examines belief in misinformation, conspiracy theories, and epistemically suspect claims, including the reasoning processes that lead individuals to accept or reject such claims. Martire has also published on smoking cessation, socioeconomic status and health behaviour, and coerced treatment of substance-using offenders.
