Ian graduated with his MA in Quantitative Psychology in 2000, and is currently in the Ph.D. program at the University of Manitoba. His research interests lie in the area of longitudinal designs with hierarchical and clustered data. Outside of this, his interests are test design and advanced multivariate statistical procedures (e.g., structural equation modeling). His clinical interests are in the study of personality and cognitive factors in depression, with a minor interest in gambling addiction.
