Research

My main area of research focus is consumer psychology applied to tourism, events and leisure. I research various concepts within consumer psychology, including satisfaction, motivation, prestige & status, recreation specialisation and experience. My PhD research was on the diffusion and adoption of technology-based innovations and I continue to maintain an interest in the area of innovative behaviours, technology related or otherwise.
