All of the real challenges facing us, both as individuals and as societies, are highly complex – if they were simple they wouldn’t be challenging! In the TIES group, we believe that critical thinking, creative theory, careful empirical observation and social collaboration are the primary tools we have to tackle this complexity and to better the world. The TIES research group employs dynamic systems theory and methods to investigate phenomena at the interface of emotions, self-regulation, relationships, teamwork and wellbeing.
