Prof. Kn盲uper鈥檚 area of research is applied social cognition with a focus on health behaviour change. She studies how individuals make health related judgments (e.g., risk perception), how cognitions (e.g., health beliefs) influence health behavior, and develops and evaluates interventions to change healthy behaviour. Currently, she studies these processes mainly in the areas of eating behaviour (dieting, obesity, diabetes), physical activity behavior, medication adherence, and mindfulness, and directs the 捆绑SM社区 CHIP Healthy Weight Program. Her methodological interests include the construction of psychometric scales, questionnaire design, and the validity of self-reports. Prof. Kn盲uper supervises clinical and experimental psychology graduate students.
