Research Interests:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

I am a social psychologist interested in real-world phenomena. More specifically, I am interested in the relationship between group behaviour (e.g., crowd behaviour, social movements, leadership) and how it can be shaped by our social identities, in social problems (e.g., racism, sexism, toxic masculinity), as well as on the psychosocial predictors of wellbeing (e.g., social support, sense of belonging).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n\n\n\n

Current Research Projects:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

In my most recent research I have explored the processes through which groups emerge during disasters and how they operate in the post-disaster period. I am also interested in how social psychological knowledge about collective behaviour can inform policy and practice related to community resilience in climate change and disasters.  My current projects include:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

  • The investigation of the spontaneous emergence of community groups to respond to disasters.<\/strong><\/li>
  • Factors that might affect mass evacuations.  This is in collaboration with St Andrews and Edinburgh University.<\/li>
  • The rhetoric employed by anti-abortion activists.<\/strong><\/li>
  • The psychosocial factors that can affect the mental health of PhD students. <\/li>
  • The social psychology of panic buying.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n

    <\/p>\n\n\n\n

    \n\n\n\n

    Developing Research Areas:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

    The secondary impacts of disasters on mental health.  This will be in collaboration with Sussex University and Universities in Saudi Arabia and South Wales, as well as with Public Health England.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
