Dr Emily KotheSchool of Psychology SUMMARYDr Emily Kothe is a Lecturer in Psychology at Deakin University. Her primary research interest is the mechanisms underlying successful behaviour change in food consumption and diet. Other research interests include the development and evaluation of theory based health interventions in the domains of fruit and vegetable consumption, breakfast consumption and other appetitive behaviours. Her previous research has found that successful interventions on changing breakfast consumption include a psychosocial component to increase positive attitudes towards nutrition, and interventions to increase breakfast consumption which would be expected to work, like positive and negative framing, and Perceived Behavioural Control, may not be effective.

How often should workers take breaks and how long should they be to safely sustain a high rate of output? How do we all make sure we’re working smarter, not harder? How long can we expect students to sustain attention in class before they need a break? What can educators do to increase attendance in rural areas?

Dr Jo Laban PerymanLecturer, Economics RMIT University SUMMARYDr Jo Laban Peryman is a Lecturer in Economics at RMIT University. Using mainly experimental methods, her research focuses on how social norms and identity shape economic behaviour. In particular, she is interested in how biases in decision making depend on social or cultural factors. This research helps policymakers understand the context in which policies may work or fail, or even have unintended consequences. Her previous research has found that policies designed to encourage behaviour using social norms may have the opposite effect in individualistic cultures, and that fines may encourage subsequent risk seeking behaviour (e.g. tax evasion).
