Dr Eleanor Miles

I am a social and cognitive psychologist, whose main research interest is in self regulation (how we direct our thoughts, feelings, and actions in order to achieve our goals). My research aims to understand why we fail at self-regulation, how we can get better at it, and the relationship between self-regulation and emotional, physical and social functioning. I also have broad interests in embodied cognition; I am interested in how our bodies shape the way we feel, think, and behave, and in how this can help us to understand clinical and social psychological phenomena.
