Pascal Wagner is a Lecturer in the Department of Psychology at the University of Fribourg, Switzerland. His research focuses on social psychology, conspiracy theories, public health perception, and cognitive biases. He contributes to academic peer review processes and has published extensively on topics including conspiracy mentality, pandemic understanding, and sociopolitical behavior.
His work examines the psychological and social mechanisms underlying belief in conspiracy theories, with a particular emphasis on their societal implications.

Wagner’s recent publications highlight trends in conspiracy theory propagation, the role of precarity in belief formation, and the interplay between power structures and ideological orientations. His research often bridges theoretical models with empirical data, offering insights into collective behavior and symbolic coping strategies during health crises.
