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 Senior Fellow of the Higher Education Academy (SFHEA), a member of the Experimental Psychology Society, and the GREAT Centre at Swansea University.

His research explores the psychological processes underlying learning and behaviour, with a particular focus on associative learning and the factors that influence how behaviours are acquired, maintained, and changed. He has examined how factors such as attention, avoidance, anxiety, and schizotypy influence learning, alongside the behavioural mechanisms involved in gambling harm. His research has been supported by a range of external funders.

Alongside his research in experimental psychology, Martyn also conducts research into higher education, examining student engagement, employability, wellbeing, and the individual differences that shape students’ experiences of higher education. He also develops freely available educational resources, including research methods and statistics tutorials, to support students, researchers, and educators.

Martyn is committed to making psychology accessible through public engagement. He contributes through invited talks, podcasts, media interviews, and educational resources, and has been featured by the BBC, national radio stations, newspapers, and psychology-related media. 

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