Dr. Hudson is a Sport and Exercise Psychologist. Her research uses reversal theory to explore a range of psychological phenomena in sport and exercise contexts. Here research makes three key contributions to the field. First, a series of robust, intellectually and methodology precise studies, largely, but not exclusively laboratory based, that have interrogated core theoretical proposals of reversal theory. These studies have been conducted within the context of sport and exercise but their conclusions extrapolate to the general tenets of the theory, and are investigated from psychophysiological perspectives, generating novel lines of enquiry in reversal theory. Second, a series of papers, including empirical studies, that present conceptual critique of reversal theory research in sport and exercise, the theory itself and its measurement tools. Third, a series of studies that integrate reversal theory with other synergistic theories and paradigms, thus presenting novel understanding across each and expanding the contribution of reversal theory within the wider field of psychological research.
