Dr. Ricky Green serves as a Post-Doctoral Research Associate at the School of Psychology, University of Kent, where he investigates the psychological mechanisms underlying conspiracy theories and their societal impacts. His work bridges social psychology with real-world political and cultural phenomena, contributing to academic discourse through recent high-impact publications.
Green completed his doctoral thesis at the University of Kent in 2021, examining the interplay between attachment anxiety, catastrophizing tendencies, and conspiracy belief formation. His educational foundation supports his current research trajectory in social and political psychology.
His research centers on conspiracy theories, with specialized focus on how national narcissism moderates conspiracy blaming following group deprivation, and how social identity theory explains fan reactions to institutional threats like the European Super League. This work reveals critical connections between individual psychological traits and collective political behaviors, demonstrating how group dynamics fuel conspiracy adoption in polarized contexts.
Green's 2024 publications establish clear trends: they systematically connect conspiracy psychology to contemporary events (e.g., sports governance crises) while testing theoretical boundaries through cross-cultural variables like national narcissism. His methodology combines experimental social psychology with real-world case analysis, advancing understanding of conspiracy theories as adaptive group responses rather than mere cognitive errors.
No scientific awards are currently documented in available records.
Information regarding student supervision, grant funding, or laboratory leadership remains undisclosed in public sources. His collaborative work with international researchers like Bertin, Klein, and Yzerbyt suggests participation in multinational research networks, though specific team structures or future projects aren't detailed in institutional materials.
