Dr Warren Thorngate, emeritus professor of psychology, Carleton University, Ottawa, Canada

Warren Thorngate is an emeritus professor of psychology, Carleton University, Ottawa, Canada. Since receiving his PhD in social and mathematical psychology from the University of British Columbia in 1971, he has pursued research in four areas: human decision making, social psychology, research methods, and statistics. He has served as a visiting professor at the University of California, Carnegie Mellon University, the University of Surrey, St. Petersburg University, La Trobe University (Australia), Tehran University, and the Max Planck Institute for Human Development. He has also taught organizational behaviour and decision making in Carleton University’s School of Business.  

Professor Thorngate is best known for his work on the pathologies of contests and competitions, the economics of attention, and social motivation. He is also the creator of Ordinal Pattern Analysis, an evidential statistics procedure for measuring prediction-observation fit. His applied work includes several evaluation research projects to improve the grant adjudication processes of government research funding agencies. His current work explores the ecology of problems and the limits of time. 

We are waiting for Professor Thorngate with lectures and workshops for students of our program.
