Biography

Robert Teese is a Lecturer in psychology at Federation University Australia.

Rob’s main research interests are within the broad area of flourishing and floundering across the lifespan. In particular, he is interested in health-risk behaviour (drug and alcohol use, sex, driving, and gambling behaviours), impulsivity, and positive and negative outcomes (e.g., depression) during the emerging and young adult periods of the lifespan and which factors best predict these outcomes and behaviours. Using a psychosocial perspective, he is interested in the impact of cognitive, personality, social, and affective factors on these outcomes.

Rob has taught extensively across the undergraduate psychology program and has supervised 40+ research projects through to completion.
