About the Project
Dr Andrew Weyman's projects focus on the psychology of risk. He has over 20 years experience of research in applied psychology and human factors. Prior to joining the Department, he was employed as a Principal Scientist at the Health and Safety Executive (HSE). He is happy to supervise qualitative and quantitative research projects and has a particular interest in combined methods approaches. His specialised areas are:
• Risk perception & risk decision making – in particular social & cultural influences;
• Risk communication – in particular mental models approaches; warnings and labelling;
• Public perception of risk and societal concern – measures of concern; stakeholder engagement and communication practice;
• Health & safety climate / culture – leadership style; measure development / action research / workplace interventions;
• Risk assessment and risk management systems in work organisations – including systems design and emergency planning.
RESEARCH PROPOSAL - You must write your own research proposal on this topic. See our website at http://www.bath.ac.uk/study/pg/programmes/mphi-psyc for further details.
