Prof. Mark Boyes

Overview

I am a Professor at Curtin University, Co-Lead of the Mental Health Research Domain within the Curtin enAble Institute, and an NHMRC Emerging Leadership Fellow (National Health and Medical Research Council).  

​

My research interests span health, developmental, and clinical psychology, with the overarching aim of understanding how both individual difference, as well as social and community-related variables, are related to psychological, social, educational, and health-related outcomes across the life-span. I am particularly interested in individual differences in cognitive and self-regulatory processes (such as appraisal, coping, and emotion regulation) and their potential links with emotional vulnerability.

I am an Academic Editor at PeerJ and an Editorial Board Member at Dyslexia and Vulnerable Children and Youth Studies.

​

I am currently conducting research in three broad areas:

​

1) Mental health and well-being among children with language and literacy difficulties

2) Emotional experience, emotion regulation, and non-suicidal self-injury

3) Psychosocial impacts of HIV/AIDS

Please contact me if you would be interested in conducting PhD research in any areas that overlap with my interests.
