معرفی
Dr. Sue Churchill serves as an Honorary Lecturer in the School of Psychology at the University of Sussex, contributing to academic activities through teaching and research within the psychology discipline. Her position is formally recognized under the School of Psychology structure at the university.
Her research focuses on the intersection of Health Psychology and Social Psychology, specifically examining how cognitive and emotional processes influence health behaviours. Key areas include the dynamics of impulsivity in dietary choices, the effectiveness of self-affirmation techniques in improving self-control, and the impact of message framing on alcohol consumption patterns. Her work consistently applies theoretical frameworks like the Theory of Planned Behaviour to develop practical interventions for behaviour modification.
Analysis of her publication record reveals a sustained investigation into how individual differences in traits like impulsivity and self-efficacy moderate responses to psychological interventions. Her research demonstrates particular expertise in designing and testing implementation intentions and autonomy-supportive strategies for changing snacking behaviour and alcohol consumption.
No scientific awards or major grants are documented in the available materials. Dr. Churchill maintains regular office hours for student consultation on Tuesdays from 9:00-10:30, indicating active engagement with undergraduate and postgraduate education despite her honorary status.
