Featured researcher

Angela Evans

Associate Professor, Psychology
Faculty of Social Sciences

Angela Evans is a developmental psychologist with a focus on the influence of children’s social and cognitive development on their moral understanding and behaviour. She uses experimental methods to systematically study children’s understanding of deception and their actual deceptive behaviours both in the laboratory and in the field. She also examines cultural factors that influence children’s understanding and evaluation of lies in different contexts, as well as their actual lie-telling behaviours. Additionally, Evans is interested in issues related to child eyewitness testimony such as children’s competency, credibility, and our ability to detect their lies.
