Tina L Rochelle

Dr. Tina L Rochelle is a Senior Lecturer in Social Care and Social Work at Manchester Metropolitan University's Faculty of Health and Education. As a Chartered Health Psychologist, she examines cultural and gender influences on health behaviors.

Research investigates how cultural values shape health behaviors across populations, with focus on stress responses, body image, aging, and mental health in cross-cultural contexts (particularly Hong Kong Chinese populations). Work integrates gender studies with health psychology frameworks.

Recent publications explore pandemic impacts on social connectedness, gender differences in health behaviors, aging and wellbeing, and help-seeking barriers. Methodologically employs experimental designs, longitudinal studies, and psychometric validation.
