Interests

I have a long-standing interest in the application of psychology to such diverse fields as those of work, rehabilitation, management, education and sport. Most recently I have concentrated my research on vocational rehabilitation following serious physical impairment.

I am currently involved in two research projects investigating the rehabilitation experiences (and outcomes) of people from rural communities, and am presently supervising higher degree students whose research is in the following areas:

job attitudes of nurses;
predictors of return to work following occupational injury;
exercise program adherence amoung older persons;
consumer satisfaction with a health service provider.

I am available to supervise research and would be happy to discuss possible topics with post-graduate students interested in the areas of rehabilitation, organizational behaviour and vocational behaviour.

Please contact me for further details of my research and teaching interests.
