Research interests

My research concerns the content and functions of nostalgia. I am primarily interested in the role of nostalgia in wellbeing, particularly during older adulthood or in those who perceive that they have limited time remaining in other domains of life. I also examine whether there are individual differences in those who stand to benefit most from nostalgia.

PhD research

MSc: "Nostalgia proneness: An examination of the predictive power of individual differences and associated health and wellbeing outcomes"

PhD: "The relation between nostalgia and wellbeing across the lifespan"

Both funded by a School of Psychology 1+3 Studentship and supervised by Dr Tim Wildschut
