Andrea Steele

My research spans applied psychology, across organisational psychology, educational psychology and social psychology. My PhD was in the area of leader development.

I have a number of projects looking at topics including the following:

• The predictors of student retention and student engagement
• An investigation into the identity development of student-athletes
• The predictors of academic procrastination
• The psychosocial outcomes of the use of dating applications
• The impact of dating application use on relationship development

I also have research interests in longitudinal and multi-level research, self-regulatory processes, recovery from work, identity development, and student retention.

I supervise the research projects of several PhD, Masters, honours, and graduate diploma of psychology students.

Current/past student projects include:

• Cognitive perspectives of psychopathic personality
• Employer perspectives on employee integrity
• The gender pay gap and leadership intentions
• Psycho-social outcomes of the use of dating applications
• The impact of dating applications on relationship development
• Acknowledging the whole: Mental health service-provider competencies for working with intersectional identities
