Research interests

I have broad interests focused on individual differences and research methodology in psychology:

-Individual differences and personality (psychopathy, normative psychopathology, aggression, non-human animal personality & wellbeing, behavioural assessment, psychology and biomechanics of human movement),

-Interpersonal behaviour (first impressions, dyadic/polyadic engagement, behaviour as social information, reciprocity)

-Methodology and philosophy of psychological science (validity and reliability of psychological science),

-Ecological psychology (environment and behaviour, mutualism, realism)

-Applied/forensic psychology (challenging environments for research, public security, policing, sports performance, occupational settings, and schools)

Supervision interests:

-Applied psychology of various forms (policing, security, school, sports, occupational, non-human animals)

-Personality psychology and theory (psychopathy, ecological approaches)

-Forensic psychology

-Ecological psychology and perception

-Other applied and theoretical psychology topics.
