This Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Social, Behavioral, and Economic Sciences (SBE) program (CFDA 47.075) provides $185,441.00 to Arizona State University to study the cognitive processes underlying how individuals revise their beliefs in response to new evidence.

The project aims to quantify four key types of distortions that can influence belief revision: valence-driven distortions, identity-driven distortions, self-serving distortions, and conservatism. By measuring these influences at the individual level across multiple controlled tasks, the researchers seek to determine whether individuals reliably differ in the rationality of their belief revision. The insights from this research are expected to improve scientific and health communication, as well as promote better individual and collective decision-making. The award has an April 1, 2025 start date and a March 31, 2030 end date.
