Profile
Dr. Venter's research interests fall in two broad areas: social and quantitative psychology. Within the domain of social psychology, he has examined the manner in which factors such as the affective quality and the valence of interactional outcomes influence how we form impressions of other people. More recently, he is focusing on the self – specifically on the issue of self complexity as a buffer against stress and depression in student-athletes when faced with forced retirement from athletics. Within the domain of quantitative psychology, his interests fall in the areas of statistical power within small sample research as well as issues of mediation and moderation.
