About Us

The Applied Individual Differences Research Team researches how people differ from one another. The fact that we are all different is obvious. However, how and why we differ are areas that we focus on. From looking at unique patterns of individuals to group identifications and actions, nothing is off limits. Follow us on our Twitter page for regular updates and conversations.

Biographies

The Applied Individual Differences Research Team consists of accomplished and well known academics in the their respected research fields.

Dr Neil Dagnall

Dr Neil Dagnall is a Reader in Psychology at Manchester Metropolitan University. His research focuses on applied aspects of cognition, particularly thinking style and cognitive-perceptual factors that influence decision-making and behaviour change. This includes an interest in scientifically unsubstantiated beliefs (i.e., belief in the paranormal, conspiratorial ideation, pseudo-science, and urban legends). Recently, these research strands informed the development of personalised health care assessments as part of a KTP with Nuffield Health. Neil has also an interest in psychometric scale development and evaluation, which has resulted in recent publications examining the structure and best use of established psychological measures. Relatedly, Neil works in the area of performance, predominantly the development of non-cognitive skills. This activity has resulted in associations with notable sporting organisations. Neil’s work is acknowledged internationally as demonstrated by his good publication record, a history of attracting funding (e.g., Bial Research Fellowship), and an outstanding record of public engagement and knowledge exchange. Neil is a Certified BPS Occupational Test User of Ability (Former Level A) and Personality (Former Level B).

Dr Andrew Denovan

Dr Andrew Denovan is a Senior Lecturer in Psychology at the University of Huddersfield. His research primarily centres on aspects of differential psychology, including personality traits (e.g., Dark Triad, resilience). To this end, Andrew has an active interest in the development and evaluation of psychological measures, and research methods including psychometrics and statistical modelling. This has resulted in a number of recent publications focusing on the evaluation of psychological scales. His research is also concerned with wellbeing, stress, and psychopathology. Andrew possesses a strong publication record and a good record of knowledge exchange. He is also certified with the British Psychological Society as a Test User of Ability (formerly Level A) and Personality (formerly Level B).

Dr Ken Drinkwater

Dr Ken Drinkwater is senior lecturer in Psychology and Parapsychology. His main study areas are around Memory and Part set cuing effects, I.Q. Assessment of adults with learning disabilities, and the usefulness of the Ravens Progressive Matrices as a predictor of ability. His PhD was in Paranormal Belief measurements. 
He has been research active for several years and have contributed to many published works. He is a am founder of the film club at MMU and have recently set up a paranormal group that holds regular weekly meetings to discuss all things paranormal, which promotes student engagement and interest in this interesting area of research.
His research interests are in Parapsychology, (Paranormal Belief, Urban legends and Conspiracy Theories), Memory and part set cuing effects, neuropsychology and deficits caused by TBI. Dr Drinkwater is a well know academic in Parapsychology (including Paranormal experiences, Belief in paranormal, the anomalous, Conspiracy theories and Reality Testing), Neuropsychology (Head injuries/Parkinson's/Epilepsy), Psychological/ IQ/Intelligence and Ability measurement/Testing, Cognition: Perception, Attention and Memory Projective methods.
