Associate Dean, Undergraduate Programs and Associate Professor
Western University, Canada
Dr. Johnson completed his PhD in Measurement Psychology in 2002, and is currently appointed to the School of Health Studies. Dr. Johnson's early research focus was on information processing speed, particularly as it relates to Parkinson’s disease, and he has always had an interest in diagnostic technology (both psychometric and chronometric). Over time this facilitated a drift in his research interests towards mild traumatic brain injury and concussion. His current research interests primarily relate to psychosocial features of concussion and Parkinson’s disease. He has also taught statistics and research methodology at the graduate and undergraduate level for more than 20 years. This teaching focus has led me to be involved in a wide variety of research projects over the years, which has afforded me with opportunities to acquire experience in an array of qualitative and quantitative analytic techniques. Finally, Dr. Johnson has been heavily invested in academic leadership for approximately 10 years: first as the Chair of the Health and Rehabilitation Sciences program (2012 to 2016), then as the Undergraduate Chair of the School of Health Studies (2017 to 2019), then as the Acting Director of the School of Health Studies (2020 to 2021), and currently as the Associate Dean of Undergraduate Programs (2021 to present). This has led him to develop research interests related to those roles (still largely aspirational), including individual differences in help-seeking behaviours.
