Nursing
handovers Nursing handovers ensure continuity of care in hospitals. My research examines the impact of uncertainty on the structure of
communication during handovers, nurses' use of narratives to convey vivid information
about care situations, and their strategies to manage perturbations during
handovers. E.g., Mayor, E., Bangerter A. & Aribot M. (2012). Task uncertainty and communication
during nursing shift handovers. Journal of Advanced Nursing, 68, 1956–1966. |

Stress
interventions Stress is a major contributor to ill health. My research examines how mindfulness allows alleviating the
consequences of stress. E.g., Mayor, E. & Gamaiunova, L. (2015).
Mobile device-based mindfulness intervention promotes emotional regulation
during anticipatory stress. EAI Endorsed
Transactions on Mobile Communication and Applications, 16, e1. |

Collaboration Collaboration is key in reaching mutual
goals. My research examines how people coordinate when performing
several collaborative tasks. E.g., Mayor, E., & Bangerter, A. (2016) Flexible
coordination of stationary and mobile conversations with gaze: Resource
allocation among multiple joint activities. Frontiers in Psychology, 7:1582. |

Personnel
retention and job satisfaction Retaining critical talent is among the most important challenges
facing organizations. My research examines
factors affecting work satisfaction and intent to leave at the levels of
organizations, teams and individuals.

Social
roles & health Social roles relate to the distribution of labor in society. My research examines the impact of gender roles on the stress
reactions of women and men, which ultimately affect their health. E.g., Mayor, E. (2015). Gender roles and traits in stress and health. Frontiers in Psychology, 6, 779. |

Lay
explanations of societal issues Lay explanations are causal
factors of collective behaviour. My research examines lay explanations of societal
issues, such as emergent infectious diseases, crowd outbreaks, or the
pharmacological enhancement of performance. |
