Teaching & Research

Teaching

Aleysha supports on research methods modules across all levels. She also covers topics relating to health psychology at both undergraduate and postgraduate level.

Research

Aleysha’s main research interest involves the integration of health and forensic psychology, using behaviour change theories to understand the underpinning factors that cause university students take part in antisocial behaviour(s) and developing suitable interventions to reduce this.​ Much of her previous research has involved looking into public health, such as seeking to understand the psychosocial factors associated with engaging in behaviour that prevents infection transmission of COVID-19, as well as health and well-being outcomes. She has also worked on a project funded by Public Health Wales, looking at behavioural insights about facilitators and barriers to service users returning inhalers to community pharmacies for safe disposal.
