Prof. Andrew M. Colman

I have a BA (Combined Studies), BA (Hons, Psychology), MA and PhD (Psychology), FHEA, FBPsS, and CPsychol. I taught at Cape Town and Rhodes Universities before the University of Leicester, where I was promoted to Reader in 1984 and Professor in 2000. My research interests are in judgment and decision making, game theory, experimental games, and psychometrics. I am currently the featured author for science and technology, Oxford Reference.

My teaching focuses on judgment and decision making and social psychology, and my research focus is largely experimental, but I'm also interested in game theory itself, as well as issues relating to its foundations, and I use agent-based simulation methods for some of my research into the evolution of cooperation. I collaborate with economists, mathematicians, and psychologists, and I consider my research to be cross-disciplinary.
