Role
Currently completing a PhD which lies broadly within Environmental Psychology, I also work within the School of Psychology as a Scientific Officer. In this role, I teach stage 1 and stage 2 Research Methods workshops on the BSc Psychology programme, mark coursework and provide research support for other members of staff within the School.
Qualifications & background
BSc (Hons) Psychology
Post Graduate Certificate in Education (PGCE)
BA (Hons) Business Studies
RSA Counselling in the Development of Learning
Professional membership
British Psychological Society (Graduate Member, MBPsS)
Teaching interests
Within the School of Psychology, I teach stage 1 and stage 2 Research Methods Workshops.
I have however, spent my earlier career in Schools and FE Colleges, teaching vocational and academic Business and Marketing. During this time I coordinated courses, led a Business Studies section and acted as a College Counsellor. I have also been an Assistant Examiner for AS Business Studies (AEB).
Research interests
My PhD lies broadly within the field of Environmental Psychology; investigating the feasibility of psychological prompts and interventions which encourage energy conservation. As such I am interested in behaviour and the process of behaviour change; what is a precursor to behaviour change, how the stimuli contained in prompts generate learning and influence the process of behaviour change. I am interested in how interventions are framed; the qualities which capture attention and enhance understanding prior to a behaviour change. Currently I am focussing on the role of images and how technologies can mediate understandings for energy demand reduction.
Areas of interest:
ABC Interventions (Antecedent - Behaviour -Consequence)
Persuasive Communications
Persuasive Technologies
Persuasive Significance
Framing (Particularly the effect of specificity, abstract vs concrete, positive vs negative presentations/communications)
Psychological Prompts
Use of vivid imagery/visualisation
Behavioural Economics
