Professor John Maltby

Through my research, I explore theoretical and practical aspects of psychology, addressing resilience, mental health, cognitive processes, public health, policy, education, social behaviour, decision-making, and interdisciplinary applications.

Resilience

I have extensively explored the concept of resilience from various perspectives. One of my primary goals is to unify fragmented systems of trait resilience using ecological systems theory, providing a holistic understanding of how resilience operates within different contexts. This includes identifying latent factors of trait resilience and proposing new models of resilience through exploring resilience networks. My research also extends to educational settings, particularly in STEM learning, examining how resilience influences learning outcomes and highlighting the emotional and cognitive processes involved. This work complements earlier studies identifying psychological processes in STEM learning among different genders. Additionally, I have explored resilience in the context of neurodegenerative diseases, reviewing factors that contribute to resilience in individuals facing such conditions. This underscores the importance of tailored resilience strategies across different domains. Furthermore, I have developed and refined scales to measure ecological resilience systems, providing tools to assess resilience in varied contexts and enhancing our understanding and measurement of this complex trait. This body of work aims to create a comprehensive framework for understanding and fostering resilience across different fields and populations.

Mental Health and Well-being

My research on mental health covers a range of themes, highlighting how various factors influence psychological well-being. I have extensively explored various aspects of mental health, focusing on the impact of personality traits, social media, specific populations, and measurement tools. My research on grandiose narcissism and its effects on behaviour during the COVID-19 pandemic and the influence of dark triad traits on mental health across cultures underscores the significant role of personality in mental health. Additionally, I examined the complex relationship between social media usage and mental health among young people. My work also highlights the mental health challenges faced by individuals with Huntington's Disease and Syrian refugee children. I have developed refined tools for self-reporting anger and accurate cognitive assessment tools for younger adults. Moreover, I explored how pet ownership impacts mental health and how social norms influence alcohol consumption perceptions. My studies on irrational happiness beliefs and post-traumatic experiences delve into emotional regulation and well-being. Furthermore, my research on trait resilience and resilience strategies in different cultural contexts aims to enhance our understanding and measurement of resilience.

Psychometric Assessment

My research encompasses a broad range of themes within psychometrics, focusing on the development and application of psychological measurement tools across various domains. My work covers the assessment of mental health and well-being among diverse populations, including veterans and individuals with neurodegenerative diseases. This includes developing and refining cognitive testing methods, particularly for healthy ageing, to ensure accurate and meaningful assessments. Furthermore, I engage in knowledge transfer partnerships with industry, applying psychological insights to real-world settings, such as sports and healthcare. These collaborations aim to bridge the gap between academic research and practical applications, fostering innovation and improving outcomes. One key area is the creation and evaluation of decision support tools designed to facilitate shared decision-making in healthcare, such as those used for cascade screening in thoracic aortic disease. This work integrates mixed methods to ensure robust and user-friendly tools. In the realm of digital innovation, I am involved in projects that develop self-learning digital twins for sustainable land management. These twins leverage artificial intelligence to optimize resource use and enhance sustainability practices. This intersection of technology and psychology highlights the potential for interdisciplinary applications.

Interdisciplinary Applications

Often, my work intersects with other fields such as technology and sustainability. For example, my involvement in projects like the development of self-learning digital twins for sustainable land management (AI4NetZero) and decision support tools for thoracic aortic disease screening illustrates my interdisciplinary approach to applying psychological insights in practical and impactful ways. Additionally, in the project "Synthesising Perspectives: Crafting an Interdisciplinary View of Social Media’s Impact on Young People’s Mental Health," I adopted a multidisciplinary approach, integrating perspectives from psychology, sociology, education, political science, and health sciences to examine the intricate relationship between social media usage and mental health among young people. This project leveraged insights from various academic fields to develop the Comprehensive Digital Influence Model, which addresses key themes such as self-identity, social interaction skills, mental and emotional well-being, digital literacy, and governance in digital spaces. Moreover, my research on sustainable agriculture and net-zero practices among farmers in the UK employs a motivational model addressing psychological, economic, educational, and social factors to enhance the adoption of eco-friendly farming techniques, showcasing another practical application of integrating psychological principles into real-world scenarios.

Decision Science

Decision-making is another critical area of my research. I have investigated the psychological processes and factors that influence decision-making, particularly in health and policy contexts. For example, I am involved in projects on developing a decision support tool for people considering cascade screening for Thoracic Aortic Disease and examining how farmers in the UK will adopt AI as part of sustainable farming. My work in this domain often employs models such as the relative rank model and the Decision by Sampling model. I have demonstrated how social norms impact health-related decision-making and how framing information according to social rankings can influence behaviour change. Additionally, I have examined contextual effects on perceived health benefits, exploring how different contexts can alter individuals' perceptions and decisions regarding their health.

Textbooks

I have written a number of textbooks, including "Personality, Individual Differences, and Intelligence" (with the 5th edition published in 2022). I also focus on social research methods with SPSS ("Social Research with SPSS," 2016) and healthcare statistics ("Research Methods for Nursing and Healthcare," 2010; "Statistics for Nurses," 2007). These contributions aim to bridge theory with practical applications in psychology, healthcare, and policy.
