Patricia Rich researches human rationality from multiple perspectives (in particular, from the viewpoints of philosophy, biology, psychology, and economics) and as it manifests in different contexts (e.g. decision-making under uncertainty and belief in misinformation). Her research falls within the areas of philosophy of science, epistemology, and game and decision theory; it employs varied methods, such as philosophical argumentation, formal modeling, and computer simulation.
