Michelle Luke

I am a social and organisational psychologist. My research focuses on the areas of self/identity within and outside the organisation, risk perception, attitudes and values and positive psychology. In particular, I examine such issues as workplace relationships (with Katherine Carnelley, Department of Psychology, University of Southampton; Emma Russell, University of Sussex Business School; Constantine Sedikides, Department of Psychology, University of Southampton), work performance feedback (with Erica Hepper, School of Psychology, University of Surrey; Constantine Sedikides, Department of Psychology, University of Southampton), organisational nostalgia (with Constantine Sedikides, Department of Psychology, University of Southampton; Tim Wildschut, Department of Psychology, University of Southampton), risk perception (with Ian Dawson, Southampton Business School, University of Southampton; Johnnie Johnson, Southampton Business School, University of Southampton), self-definition (with Constantine Sedikides, Department of Psychology, University of Southampton; Lowell Gaertner, Department of Psychology, University of Tennessee; Erin O'Mara, Department of Psychology, University of Dayton), close relationships (with Elle Boag, School of Social Sciences, Birmingham City University; Katherine Carnelley, Department of Psychology, University of Southampton; Kate Cavanagh, School of Psychology, University of Sussex; Angela Rowe, School of Experimental Psychology, University of Bristol; Constantine Sedikides, Department of Psychology, University of Southampton), inter-group relations (with Elle Boag, School of Social Sciences, Birmingham City University; Katherine Carnelley, School of Psychology, University of Southampton; Benjamin Everly, University of Sussex Business School; Angela Rowe, School of Experimental Psychology), attitudes and values (with Wing Yee Cheung, Department of Psychology, University of Winchester; Gregory Maio, Department of Psychology, University of Bath; Shova Thapa Karki, University of Sussex Business School) and positive emotions (with Katherine Carnelley, Department of Psychology, University of Southampton; Constantine Sedikides, Department of Psychology, University of Southampton). I also have a strong background in research methods and advanced statistical techniques, such as structural equation modelling and hierarchical linear modelling. I would be happy to supervise PhD students with a degree in psychology and similar research interests.
