Bridget Caitlin Ramsey
PhD Candidate
Adelaide
Summary
PhD candidate in Psychology with a First Class Honours degree. My Honours thesis used cross-lagged panel modeling to examine the dynamic relationships between political despair, wellbeing, and collective action over time. Building on this foundation, my PhD research applies latent profile analysis to identify distinct emotional subgroups who engage in reactionary collective action and endorse confrontational means of actions. I am especially interested in how complex emotions shape collective efforts to oppose marginalised communities, including immigrants and transgender individuals. My PhD is supported by an ARC Future Fellowship awarded to my supervisor and aims to advance theoretical understanding of the psychological processes that drive reactionary actors.
