Dr Karen Stanbridge
Psychologist at JMP with a focus on life events and behaviour change. Her work for her PhD focused on the effects of key life events, specifically moving home, can impact upon habitual behaviour, and identifying the stages in the moving process where travel issues are considered. Karen has experience in public consultation and interviewing, as well as a range of research and application skills.
Karen is currently running a qualitative study into the Attitudes of young Londoners to active travel for TfL, as well as assisting with the ‘New Movers’ personalised travel planning intervention project. Her PhD entitled ‘Residential Relocation and Travel Behaviour Change’ investigated and identified the different stages of travel considerations during the home move and the most effective times for interventions, which acted as the foundation for the ‘New Movers’ scheme.
