معرفی
Rebecca Hall serves as a Senior Teaching Associate in Psychology and Research Associate in Developmental Psychology at Lancaster University's Department of Psychology. Her dual roles encompass teaching responsibilities and active research within developmental frameworks.
Her research focuses on critical intersections between developmental and health psychology, particularly examining self-regulation challenges in type 1 diabetes management. Key areas include disordered eating behaviors, intentional insulin omission for weight control (diabulimia), and psychological aspects of chronic disease management in adolescent populations. This work bridges clinical practice with developmental theory to address real-world health complications.
Her doctoral thesis represents foundational work in diabetes psychology, establishing clear trends toward applied developmental research in chronic illness contexts. The analysis reveals consistent emphasis on behavioral mechanisms affecting disease management rather than purely biomedical approaches.
Dr. Hall actively contributes to academic discourse through seminar participation, including the Methods North West Seminar on literature review methodologies where she served as Consultant and Expert Opinion. She is formally affiliated with Lancaster's Developmental Psychology research group, indicating collaborative work in child and adolescent development contexts.
