Associate professor in Psychology, University of Southampton

Associate professor in Psychology, University of Southampton Ben's research is focused around developing and evaluating psychological and behaviour change interventions for people with physical and mental health conditions. He has several key areas of interest: 1. Using experimental psychology to understand psychological mechanisms that are related to worse health outcomes, especially for people with respiratory disease. 2. Using the person-based approach (PBA) to understand key behavioural issues for target populations, and develop (digital) interventions to address them. 3. Use cutting-edge models of 'engagement' to understand why and how people use digital technology, and how it can be effectively implemented within healthcare settings.
