Martyn Quigley is a psychologist and Senior Lecturer at Swansea University. He completed a UKRI-funded PhD in Psychology at the University of Nottingham and previously worked at the Economic and Social Research Council (ESRC). He is a Fellow of the Higher Education Academy, a member of the Experimental Psychology Society, and the GREAT Centre at Swansea University.

His research focuses on associative learning processes and how these shape behavioural responses. He has examined how factors such as attention, avoidance, anxiety and schizotypy influence learning, and the behavioural mechanisms involved in gambling harm. This work has been funded by a range of external funders.  

Alongside his experimental research, Martyn has an interest in higher education pedagogy, including student engagement, employability and wellbeing. His work explores how individual differences, such as personality traits, shape students’ experiences of higher education. 

Martyn also contributes to public discussions of psychology through media engagement. He has been interviewed by the BBC, national radio stations, newspapers and psychology-related outlets.

Martyn welcomes enquiries regarding research collaboration, invited talks, guest lectures, consultancy work and related projects or partnerships.
