Yasmina Okan at "Research in Time of Crisis"

Date

Yasmina Okan contributed to a digital event about “Research in Time of Crisis” organized by the Psychonomic Society. This event constitutes a platform for innovative ideas about how to do high-quality research quickly, and Yasmina discussed her contribution to a large global effort to assess people’s attitudes towards contact tracing policies to address Covid-19. The project involves researchers from Japan, Taiwan, Spain, Hungary, Germany, Switzerland, Australia, the US and the UK, and has so far yielded results from around 15,000 participants to provide policy-relevant answers about people’s attitudes. Yasmina’s post discussing the story behind this project and some of the results to date can be found here (with contributions from Stephan Lewandowsky from the University of Bristol and Simon Dennis from the University of Melbourne):
