Profile
Lindley’s research program centers on how contexts support individual well-being to foster personal growth, motivation, and behavior change. She uses universal psychological tenants to design evaluation protocols focused on systems of change that support desirable intra- and inter-personal, and organizational well-being through positive social interactions. She challenges partners to consider the range of influences from the individual to the larger cultural context to develop actionable evidence-based plans for intervention to understand and promote lasting change. Lindley applies advanced statistical methods including longitudinal growth models, multilevel models and other structural equation modeling methods, and qualitative research methods as fitting for each project.
