Associate Professor Alexandre Morin

Associate Professor Alexandre Morin received his Ph.D. in psychology at the University of Montreal, Canada. He is a highly productive researcher having produced 61 articles many of which are in top-tier journals and book chapters with reputable publishers. His research has also attracted multiple prestigious external grants in Canada (e.g., Social Sciences and Humanities Research Council of Canada, Fond Québécois de Recherche sur la Société et la Culture). Illustrative of the recognition received for his research contributions, he has acted as reviewer for international and local conferences, doctoral and post-doctoral scholarships grant applications for the Fond Québécois de Recherche sur la Société et la Culture, additional Canadian, Italinan and Belgian grants applications, and for 74 manuscripts submitted in a total of 27 peer-reviewed journals including Organizational Research Methods and the Journal of Sports and Exercise Psychology. He has been repeatedly invited to present his research to research groups located in Australia, UK, Italy and France, including formal invitations for longer stays as invited professor at the University of Aix-Marseille 2, the University of Western Sydney, and to the University of Cagliari. Upon joining CPPE in September 2012, Alexandre will head the Positive Substantive Methodological synergy cluster and seek ways to promote secondary data analyses of the multiple rich data vases available at CPPE, in order to maximise the return on investment of these impressive data bases.

Research Interests

Alexandre defines himself as a lifespan developmental psychologist with broad research interests anchored in the exploration of the social determinants of psychological wellbeing and psychopathologies at various life stages. Most of his research endeavours are anchored into a substantive-methodological synergy framework and thus represent joint ventures in which new methodological developments are applied to substantively important issues.

Qualifications

  • B.Sc. Psychology (University of Montreal 1998)
  • M.Ps. Psychology (University of Montreal 2003)
  • Ph.D. Psychology (University of Montreal 2005)
