Dr. Kimberly R. More is a Health and Social Psychologist passionate about helping people engage with and maintain health-promoting behaviours. Her research explores how individuals can adopt and sustain behaviours such as taking medications as prescribed, eating more plant-based foods, being physically active, and spending time in green and blue spaces. She approaches health through a biopsychosocial lens, recognising that behaviours are shaped not only by personal circumstances and choices but also by the communities and social environments around us.
At the individual level, Dr. More investigates the psychological factors that support or hinder healthy behaviours, including body image, identity, habits, and motivation. She also examines how social influences, such as norms, group identity, and community assets, affect the way people live healthier lives. Her work bridges social and health psychology to explore the intersection of individual and social factors in shaping health behaviour, from initial engagement to long-term maintenance.
Dr. More employs a wide range of research methods, including observational studies, randomised controlled trials, and fully factorial intervention designs with longitudinal follow-ups. She also works directly with communities using co-design approaches to ensure that interventions are practical, effective, and tailored to real-world needs.
