Personal profile
Research interests
My main interests are in forensic psychology, specifically investigative interviewing and the detection of deception. More recently however I have been involved in work in some very different areas. I have been looking at the impacts of exposure to nature on well-being and attention restoration and how this can be encouraged. Additionally because of the work I am doing on "live brief" and applied assessments as part of the MSc Psychology, I am interested in exploring and evaluating student experiences of completing such assessments.
