Neil Dagnall
Summary
Dr Neil Dagnall is a Professor in Applied Cognitive Psychology at Manchester Metropolitan University (MMU). His research focuses on applied aspects of cognition, particularly thinking style and cognitive-perceptual factors that influence scientifically unsubstantiated beliefs (i.e., belief in the paranormal, conspiratorial ideation, pseudo-science, and urban legends), decision-making, and behaviour change. Neil also has an interest in psychometric scale development and evaluation, which has resulted in recent publications examining the structure and best use of established psychological measures. Relatedly, Neil works also in the performance field, particularly the development of non-cognitive skills. This has resulted in associations with sporting organizations. Neil’s work is acknowledged internationally as demonstrated by his good publication record (150 plus peer reviewed articles), a history of attracting funding (e.g., Bial Research Fellowships), commercial enterprises (e.g., Knowledge Transfer Partnerships), and an outstanding record of public engagement and knowledge exchange.
