| Research: |
Research in the Exercise and Health
Psychology Laboratory is directed toward an analysis of exercise
effects on selected mental health variables. Recent research
emphases include examination of the effects of exercise on (a)
relaxation/mood alteration, including anxiety and depression; (b)
ability to cope with psychosocial stressors, (c) quality and
quantity of sleep, and (d) cognitive functioning. In approaching
research in these areas, a variety of research methodologies are
employed, including meta-analytic (quantitative) reviews of the
research literature, and questionnaire, behavioral, and
psychophysiological measures. Psychophysiology, which examines the
interrelations among psychological and physiological variables so
that underlying behavioral mechanisms can be better understood, is
often used as an unobtrusive measure to enhance interpretation of
behavioral and questionnaire findings. Dr. Landers research, now
consisting of over 100 publications in peer-reviewed journals, has
been recognized by the American Alliance for Health, Physical
Education, Recreation and Dance (Alliance Scholar Award, 2005-06),
and the North American Society for the Psychology of Sport and
Physical Activity (Distinguished Scholar Award, 1995). |
