Duane T. Wegener's research centers on social psychology, focusing on how people form and change attitudes, how they respond to persuasion and misinformation, and how beliefs, biases, and source credibility shape decision-making. His work spans topics like political ambivalence, fact-checking effectiveness, consumer branding responses, and hiring decisions, applying attitude-change theory to real-world contexts. Some listed publications on maternal health and nutrition appear to reflect a shared name or collaborative cluster rather than a core focus of this research area.
