About Ryan

I am a Research Fellow in the School of Psychology, where I apply mixed-methods approaches to address questions in social psychology. My work combines qualitative and quantitative methodologies to explore complex psychological phenomena.

I'm a postdoctoral researcher working on the Gambling Harms Scale Initiative, developing a framework for understanding gambling harm and recovery along with corresponding measurement tools. This project involves interviews, workshops, Item Response Theory, regression analysis, and propensity score weighting.

My research interests also include measurement development in youth lootbox motivation and person-centered care. My doctoral research examined the sociolinguistic expression of moral disgust and its role in group processes.

While my current role is research-focused, I maintain a Fellowship with the Higher Education Academy and continue to supervise students, drawing on my background in psychometrics and scale development.
