The Behaviour Change Meeting Group at The University of Manchester has the purpose of bringing together academics and clinicians across several institutes who are working with behaviour change, intervention development and/or implementation theory. We usually meet online on the first Thursday of the month at 3pm, inviting external speakers and internal speakers to discuss and gain feedback on their latest research in the field. We have a range of health and clinical psychologists in the group as well as epidemiologists, nurses and physiotherapists who work with a range of different short-term and long-term conditions in different contexts (public, patient and healthcare professional groups).
If you would like to be added to the email list to hear about future meetings, please contact Rhiannon Hawkes: rhiannon.hawkes@manchester.ac.uk
Our next Behaviour Change Meeting will be held on Thursday 3rd October at 3pm, where we have Dr Siobhan Caughey and Prof Mark Healey from the Behavioural Research Lab in Alliance Manchester Business School presenting on ‘Behaviour Change in Management and Organisations’.
This talk provides an overview of research ongoing in the Behavioural Research Laboratory at Alliance Business School. The lab is a facility for studying human behaviour in a controlled setting that enables researchers to combine various behavioural and psychophysiological tasks and measures. The broad agenda of the lab is to examine the cognitive and emotional processes that underpin well-being and performance in and around organisations. We will report on three of our current projects. The first is a project with collaborators in criminology examining reactions to witnessing direct versus indirect bystander interventions in harassment situations. The second is a project exploring psychophysiological markers of emotion elicitation. The third is a project on the self-prioritisation effect, examining how biases guiding cognitive preferences expand into the groups to which people belong.
