Dwight Tse is a Lecturer (Assistant Professor) at the School of Psychological Sciences and Health, University of Strathclyde. In 2019, Dwight completed his Ph.D. in Positive Developmental Psychology at Claremont Graduate University, supervised by Profs. Jeanne Nakamura and Mihaly Csikszentmihalyi. He also worked as a postdoctoral fellow at the Chinese University of Hong Kong with Prof. Helene Fung from 2019 to 2020. Dwight’s research interests include topics ranging from positive psychology and well-being science to aging and lifespan developmental psychology. Broadly defined, his work investigates the dispositional (e.g., autotelic personality) and situational factors that facilitate flow experiences, meaningfulness, and overall well-being across the lifespan, using diverse methods such as experience sampling or daily diary studies, secondary data analyses, and in-lab experiments. His recent work also examines prosociality, age-related attitudes, solitude, and ideal affect (affective states that people want to achieve).

Amy Isham is a Lecturer (Assistant Professor) in Psychology at Swansea University and Research Fellow at the Centre for the Understanding of Sustainable Prosperity (CUSP). Prior to this, she completed her PhD and postdoctoral research at the University of Surrey. Amy’s work makes use of principles from Positive and Environmental Psychology to explore the relationship between human wellbeing and engagement in ecologically sustainable lifestyles. She aims to determine the environments, behaviours, and psychological states that can support (or hinder) the achievement of ‘sustainable wellbeing’, whereby high levels of human wellbeing are achieved alongside increased care for the environment. This research spans areas such as the impact of consumer culture, self-transcendent mental states, and the role of business in supporting rewarding, sustainable lifestyles. A core focus of Amy’s research has been on flow states. Whilst flow is commonly known to support human wellbeing, Amy tests how its benefits might extend beyond the self to also include more pro-social and pro-ecological outcomes.
