About
Mike Martin serves as an Honorary Professor in the School of Psychology at the University of Queensland, maintaining an active research profile in aging psychology, couples communication, and computational linguistics.
His research centers on language as a diagnostic tool for psychological states, with primary foci on healthy aging narratives, dyadic coping mechanisms during couple conflict, and automated analysis of social reminiscence. Key methodologies integrate natural language processing with psychological theory to decode well-being markers in conversational data across age groups.
Recent publications (2020-2024) reveal a cohesive trajectory: aging-focused linguistic analysis dominates his work, complemented by investigations into pronoun usage during interpersonal conflict. His interdisciplinary approach consistently bridges psychological assessment with machine learning techniques, demonstrating innovation in quantifying subjective experiences like well-being through objective language metrics.
