Dr Jenny Groarke

School Of Psychology

My primary research interest is the impact of the arts on health and wellbeing. In particular, the role of everyday music listening in stress and emotion regulation; the effects of group singing on psychological adjustment in chronic illness and other life transitions; lifespan changes in socio-emotional experiences. I am also interested in research in the area of psycho-oncology exploring the psychological experience of people living with and beyond cancer, and enhancing the effect of digital health technology on behaviour change.
