Personal profile

Research Statement

My research interests span developmental and personality psychology, mental health, and applied work. I examine personality and family dynamics in context - my work therefore moves away from 'generalisability' to consider how families interact within specific environments or situations. This has included cross-cultural work in non-WEIRD countries, and currently focuses on families of youth with chronic illness (particularly Chronic Kidney Disease). I am also interested in unpacking the influence of adversity (e.g., adverse childhood experiences, chronic illness) on risk and resilience, particularly with young people and parents. The ultimate goal of my work is to contribute to the development or adaptation of technological resources for families at risk, to support positive dynamics between parents and young people. 

I am a member of the InteRRaCt Lab (http://www.interractlab.co.uk/) in the School of Psychology and the Renal Arts Group (https://www.qub.ac.uk/sites/renal-arts-group/) in the School of Nursing and Midwifery. 

 

Research Interests

I am interested in conducting research focused on the parent-offspring relationship, personality and emotion, adversity/stressful life experiences, and adaptation of interventions to new contexts.
