Prior to that I was Professor of Psychology at The City University in London. I was the Subject Chair of Psychology from 1994 until April 2002. I have also held a number of offices in the British Psychological Society, including Chair of the Standing Conference Committee (1991-95), Honorary Editor of ′The Psychologist′ (1988-92), and President of the Society (2002-3). I have also been chair of the Society′s Board Of Trustees, Council, and Investigatory Committee.
