Dr Lambros Lazuras PhD, PGCert, BA (Hons)

Reader in Social Psychology


Summary

I teach Social Psychology modules and am a tutor for Level 4, 5 and 6 students.

About

I have been teaching in higher education for more than 10 years and have extensive experience in teaching undergraduate social psychology modules and in undergraduate and postgraduate research supervision. Since 2004 I am an active researcher in social and health psychology topics, I have published my work in international peer-reviewed academic journals, and been involved in more than 10 funded international research projects.

Reader Associate Professor

I am really enthusiastic to teach any module that relates to social psychology and related applications, and more specifically I am interested in teaching modules relevant to social cognition and behaviour, applied social psychology, health psychology, and social neuroscience.

In terms of research, I am mostly interested in the decision-making processes underlying health-risk and health-protective behaviours, and in evidence-based psychological interventions to prevent substance use and health risk-taking. My research also includes the application of social psychological theories in the acceptance and utilization of emerging healthcare technologies. I currently work on the following topics

  • Psychosocial correlates of tobacco use
  • Attitudes towards, and use of electronic nicotine delivery systems (e-cigarettes)
  • Self-affirmation theory interventions in health-risk behaviours
  • Use and abuse of performance and appearance enhancement substances (e.g., nutritional supplements, anabolic steroids) in sports and exercise settings
  • Use and abuse of 'neuroenhancement' substances among academic staff and students in University settings
  • Promotion of and adherence of physical activity and exercise in underrepresented social groups and at-risk populations
  • Attitudes towards, and utilization of emerging healthcare technologies by healthcare professionals and end-users
