About Liam

My PhD focused on how and why cooridnation affects interpersonal relations and group processes. How moving in coordinated ways (dancing, singing or even walking) fosters greater affiliation, cooperation & conformity towards our co-actors & changes in our social identity. 

I have also published work on the link between Autism Theory of Mind and Anthropmorpipsm, Nonverbal cues to deception, How exposure to certain statistical co-occurrences of language in media can affect attitudes towards immigration, If sexualised and violent video games affect stereotypes & prejudice and most recently how tabletop games can be utilisted for those with autism.
