Investigating factors and inter-relationships that influence wellbeing using a range of research methods.
Qualifications
Research Interests
Currently, I am investigating how different societal and group factors can elicit transient changes in an individuals levels and types of authoritarian state. I use a range of longitudinal and momentary data with a focus on Bayesian methods and structural equation modelling.
More broadly, I use a number of data sources, including surveys, administrative data, and experimental data, to understand wellbeing. This is a complex topic that can involve a broad range of variables such as an individuals environment, relationships, or even physical health.
