Research Interests
Currently funded by an ESRC grant awarded to Prof. Elaine Fox to examine the role of affective flexibility in adolescent worry and the development of emotional vulnerability. Using behavioural and EEG approaches to investigate fundamental processes.
As well as investigating cognitive-affective processes implicated in adolescent worry, I try to do my own small bit for the improvement of psychological science. Sometimes this is promoting open and reproducible research practices; others it is frustrating others by highlighting the importance of routinely estimating and reporting the reliability of our measurements.
