Briony Pulford

I am a behavioural scientist researching many topics in judgment and decision making. My interests are in overconfidence, uncertainty, the communication and perception of confidence, cooperation, team reasoning, game theory, trust, moral judgment, and ambiguity aversion. My research has applications in health/medical decision making, financial decision making, and legal decision making.

My PhD was concerned with overconfidence in judgements, but since then I have been working on how people perceive and interpret confidence and uncertainty in communication and how this affects decision making. This has influenced my recent research into advice taking and advice giving. I am also interested in how people trust advice and information from artificial intelligence, and human-autonomy teaming.
