HHP welcomed a new tenure-line faculty member this year, Dr. Amy Welch. Dr. Welch completed her Ph.D in Exercise Psychology at the University of Leeds in the United Kingdom. The title of her dissertation was "Variability in the affective exercise experience of habitually inactive women: exploring the role of cognitive appraisal during exercise." She also has a master's degree in Sport and Exercise Psychology and a bachelor's degree in Sport and Exercise Science from Sheffield Hallam University in the United Kingdom. Her research interests include the relationship between social-cognitive factors and affective responses during physical activity, and the role that affective responses to physical activity play in exercise adoption and adherence behaviors.
