Zachary’s research investigates attitude change and the formation of attitudes, especially about science and morality. He is interested in how people explain the world around them and how they generate arguments (e.g., how they produce arguments to support their views). Zachary addresses these issues using a range of methods including behavioural studies with adults and children, data mining and machine learning techniques, surveys of experts, and Bayesian statistical modelling.
