Dr Lisa Lole currently teaches into qualitative and quantitative research methods at Central Queensland University, Australia. She has a strong understanding of a range of qualitative, quantitative, mixed methods, and literature review research design and analysis principles, statistical analysis, critical thinking, scientific writing, and project management.
Her research interests are varied but centre around behavioural addictions, health, and motivation psychology. Much of her research is in problem gambling, modern technology, and the motivations for engaging with these; however, she has been involved in a variety of projects, spanning gambling, substance use, social media use, developmental disorders, experimental cognitive psychology, and healthcare delivery, and health promotion.
Lisa is motivated by conducting research that can be meaningfully translated into tangible community outcomes. She is also passionate about transformative research that impacts people living in remote, rural, and regional locations.
