Mark Beauchamp

Associate Professor
School of Kinesiology (KIN)

Dr. Beauchamp’s research focuses on the psychology of group processes in exercise, sport, and physical activity contexts. Specifically, drawing from diverse disciplines (that include behavioural medicine, organizational psychology, and education), his research program is concerned with (a) understanding both barriers to, and facilitators of, physical activity behaviour across the age spectrum, and (b) developing conceptually-sound evidence-based interventions that are cost-effective and sustainable.
