Teaching interests
Taylor teaches and coordinates undergraduate units in Developmental Psychology, Motivation and Organisational Psychology, and Psychology Field Placement at RMIT University. Her curriculum leadership focuses on embedding digital mental health, applied behavioural science, and non-clinical career pathways into the psychology curriculum. She recently led a CEIQ-funded initiative to redesign placement-based learning through structured WIL experiences, industry collaboration, and professional identity development. Taylor is also an active research supervisor at both Honours and PhD levels.
Research interests
Taylor’s research centres on the user-avatar bond, behavioural addictions (e.g., Gaming Disorder, Screen Addiction, and Internet Gaming Disorder), and digital phenotyping. She uses both psychometric and machine learning approaches to examine how online engagement relates to mental health, psychopathology, and developmental outcomes. Her work spans cyberpsychology, clinical psychology, and digital wellbeing, with a growing focus on translational science, youth prevention, and early intervention.
