Ascertaining what is real and what is false has always been a priority in defence and security. Carl von Clausewitz’s On War was published in 1832 following the Napoleaonic wars and identified a key problem in the ‘uncertainty of all information’. Similarly, in recent years the civilian world has seen a rise in allegations of ‘fake news’, and the rapid rise of social media has made it increasingly difficult to tell the difference between what is real and what is false, warping perceptions of what is normal and our understanding of the world.
This conference aims to bring together researchers and practitioners to foster an understanding of the psychological impact of misinformation and identify areas of good psychological practice for future research. Through presentations, poster sessions and workshops we will discuss the psychological impact of misinformation in the following three areas:
Researchers, psychological practitioners, military, clinicians, defence and security professionals, emergency services personnel, and anyone with an interest in risk-taking, decision-making and wellbeing psychology.
Members, non members, students, and related professions in military and emergency services are all welcome.
Submissions are now invited for the Military Psychology Conference 2018. If you are interested in submitting a workshop, oral presentation or poster, please make your submission via the online submission system.
