Dr. Kraig Schell, Program Advisor

Associate Professor of Psychology
Ph.D., University of Cincinnati, 2000

    My research interests are rather diverse. For the last 10+ years I have worked in the application of psychology to
    the problem of safety in health care (i.e., medication errors, etc.). This line of study has led to numerous interactions
    with the industry as a speaker, researcher, and expert witness. I continue to work in this area focusing currently
    on several issues:

• Understanding workload as it relates to error production, capture and reactions

• Error self-reporting - how we do it, when we can't, how accurate we are

• Orientations toward handling errors in different ways

• Correlates of error awareness - dispositional, social and environmental

    Despite my personal predilections, I have also supervised research on other topics and would enjoy exploring new
    ground with students who have definitive interests in different areas, particularly regulatory focus and multiple task
    performance.
