Research

A trio of Sport and Exercise Psychologists conduct research on Rosie and any team members participating in her expeditions.

Dr Tracey Devonport, Dr Carla Meijen and Juliette Lloyd monitor psychological states and coping strategies before, during and after Rosie’s expeditions in a project to explore  what kinds of challenges she faces and coping mechanisms she and/or her team mates engage in overcoming the inevitable challenges they encounter. Questionnaires and diaries are filled in during each expedition as well as interviews conducted before and following the journey.  Findings are published with a view to benefitting the mental performance of other athletes and teams involved in endurance events. 

Further Research includes:

Sensory and cognitive neuroscience: visual perception and visual dysfunction; visual stress; colour vision; perceptual interactions between vision and touch; neural correlates of emotional states; the cognitive neuroscience of emotion;

Social psychology: social cognitive theories of health-related behaviour; attitudes, decision-making, intention-behaviour relations and self-regulation; volitional strategies and habit.
