Biography
Central to by program of research is understanding what contributes to wellbeing. While most of my work addresses the behaviours (e.g., physical activity) and psychological mechanisms linked to wellbeing, work with colleagues has extended to include behaviour change, motivation, self-compassion and pride. My interests have been investigated using diverse study designs and include the use of meta-analytic investigations. Recent interests also include reliability generalization studies and consideration of reporting standards (e.g., CONSORT-PRO) to guide and inform evidence.
