Dr. Randy Stein is an Associate Professor of Marketing at Cal Poly Pomona. Dr. Stein researches how people’s decisions, social beliefs, and economic understanding are shaped by how they determine what is real and what’s not. His current investigations include how political leanings impact how people weigh anecdotal versus scientific evidence, how trust in institutions relates to people’s reasoning ability, and why people value products that are verified to be ineffective or inauthentic. He has also examined why people are attracted to shoddy personality tests and why pseudoscientific ideas proliferate among individuals and businesses.
