My name is Jeremy Foust. I am an Assistant Professor of Psychology at Converse University. I received my B.S. in Psychology at Baldwin Wallace University and both my M.A. and Ph.D. in Psychology at Kent State University. My research focuses on information avoidance, which is when a person chooses not to learn a piece of self-relevant information. I'm also interested in how people interpret their disease risk information, coping strategies that facilitate information seeking and accurate comprehension of disease risk, and social norms that influence one's understanding or willingness to engage with their risk information. 

Outside of the classroom, I like spending time with my partner and our dog watching TV and cooking delicious food. I'm also obsessed with soccer: I enjoy watching soccer, playing soccer, reading about soccer, and listening to soccer podcasts.
