Research summary
Individual Differences, Organizational Psychology, Health & Quantitative Methods
My research interests include quantitative methods (broadly defined under generalized latent variable models), psychometrics, individual differences (primarily personality), organizational psychology and health. I am interested in the development and decline of individual difference traits, group differences, and how traits influence life outcomes (e.g. psychological and physical health), particularly in the workplace. Before taking up a lectureship at Edinburgh, I worked with Prof. Ian Deary in the cognitive epidemiology group here (CCCACE), and thus also have an interest in ageing.
