School of Psychological Science
I conduct theoretical and/or empirical psychological research on a broad range of topics including: theoretical psychology (direct realist analyses of human cognition); humor (theories of humor; relationship of humor to mental health, creativity, intelligence, personality; humor and advertising); psychology of tourism (personality-based market segmentation of tourism markets; risk management; decision making; travel motivation, personality predictors of attitudes and behaviours of wine tourists); and person-nature interaction (health benefits, response bias). I have been at La Trobe University, Bendigo Campus since 1990, where my main teaching has been in cognitive science, history and philosophy of psychology, and research methods and statistics. Currently I am the Bendigo Campus coordinator for the third year subjects PSY3PYA/B, and PSY3RSA/B. Areas of Empirical and Theoretical
