Research Interests
Dr. Tullett's research examines how people make sense of the world. Her work touches on political, religious, and scientific domains, exploring how people maintain their beliefs, what they think of people with opposing beliefs, and what it takes for people to change their minds. Some of her work is meta-scientific, using psychological research methods to study the operation of psychology as a field.
