Occupational Health Psychology
My students and I conduct research in industrial-organizational psychology. I’m particularly interested in an area called occupational health psychology, which focuses on issues related to the well-being of employees.
More specifically, we do research on these two topics:
Worker stress – in what ways do our social and organizational environments affect our levels of job stress?
Worker safety – how do social forces and training experiences influence workplace safety?
We have studied these topics in a number of industries, including nursing/healthcare, railway transportation, grocery stores, and electricians.
POWER Lab
Psychology of Organizational Wellness and Effectiveness Research
Our lab activities vary depending on whether there is an active data collection or not. We typically have 2-4 master’s-level graduate students, and 3-5 undergraduate students in the lab at any given time. During the academic year, we meet weekly to check in with one another on our projects and tasks. We try to have a social event every semester, but sometimes we only sneak one in once/year (pandemic, I’m looking at you).
