In early September, Prof. Dawn Watling and Dr. Beatrice Hayes presented their research at the British Psychological Society’s Developmental and Cognitive Sections Annual Conference which took place at the University of Bristol. Prof. Dawn Watling presented her research on children’s wellbeing when in nature; this project is in collaboration with Kew Wakehurst. Prof. Watling’s presentation was part of a symposium organised by an ex-lab member, Dr. Rachel Nesbit, who is now a Lecturer at the University of Exeter. Dr. Beatrice Hayes also presented her research on higher education students’ online self-disclosure and impression management behaviours. Dr. Hayes is also a member of the British Psychological Society’s Developmental Committee and enjoyed assisting with the organisation and running of the conference. As well as listening to a whole host of fascinating talks that took place over the 4-day conference, Prof. Watling and Dr. Hayes enjoyed the Conference Social which consisted of a barbecue and karaoke! Dr. Hayes, alongside RHUL PhD student, Amrita Bains, proudly represented the Developmental Section during the karaoke!
Prof. Dawn Watling and Dr. Beatrice Hayes also presented this research at the European Conference of Developmental Psychology which took place in August in Turku, Finland.
