I am a Senior Lecturer in Psychology at the University of West London. I joined UWL in 2013, having previously taught at Lancaster University, and at Liverpool John Moores University, where I completed my PhD. I have led the MSc Psychology Conversion at UWL since we developed and began delivery of the course in 2017, and also run the dissertation and statistics module on this course.

Additionally, I contribute to a number of modules across our undergraduate psychology courses, from foundation year through to final year.

Research

See Dr Rosemary Stock's publications list in the UWL Repository.

I have a long-term research interest in the effects of ageing and of individual differences on reasoning and decision-making and both my Masters degree and PhD, the latter from Liverpool John Moores University, focused on this area.

Since joining UWL I have also developed a strong interest in improving teaching and learning in higher education, including examining the role of motivations and feedback orientation in student success, and the effects and predictors of media multitasking within the student population.
