Dr. Charlotte Dack is a Senior Lecturer in the Department of Psychology at the University of Bath, where she has been employed since June 2014. She is affiliated with the Centre for Motivation and Behaviour Change and currently serves as Principal Investigator and Co-Investigator on multiple active research projects.

Dr. Dack completed her PhD at Swansea University in 2010, focusing on the generalization of self-efficacy judgments to novel stimuli after evaluative learning. Her research examines mechanisms involved in generating and transferring self-evaluations through derived stimulus relations, with applications for understanding depression and anxiety disorders.

Her primary research interests include:

• Evaluative Learning, Preference and Self-efficacy
• Behaviour Change Interventions
• Use of Mobile Technology for Health Applications
• Self-management of Long Term Conditions
• Patient and Public Involvement in Research/Participatory Design
• Relational Responding and Relational Frame Theory

Dr. Dack's recent publications (2023-2025) demonstrate a strong focus on diabetes management, digital health interventions, and stigma reduction. Her work shows consistent themes in behavior change applications for chronic disease management, particularly examining how digital tools can improve self-management in diabetes and other long-term conditions. She has published in journals including BMJ Open, Health Psychology, and Critical Public Health.

Dr. Dack serves on the editorial board for the Journal of Contextual Behavioral Science, the official journal for the Association of Contextual Behavioral Science. Her work contributes to UN Sustainable Development Goals, particularly those related to health and well-being.

She is actively supervising doctoral students and has served as supervisor for multiple research projects and datasets. Her current projects include "Diabetes Distress" (funded by National Institute for Health Research through 2026), "Stigma Research Network," and development of digital self-management interventions for chronic conditions.
