  I study sport to understand human nature, and vice versa. Banting Fellow, University of Toronto. I'm always looking to collaborate. Feel free to connect. Twitter: @SheaBalish Email: shea.balish@utoronto.ca Research Summary: I'm interested in behaviour change in health contexts, mainly youth sport. Most of my research concerns intuitive mental systems and how they drive conscious reasoning and health behaviour. My current research examines the intuitive systems that regulate status striving and friendship alliances, and how these systems can help explain sport participation, including youth sport attrition and sex differences. Much of my theorizing concerns universal aspects of human nature and thus I take a cross-cultural approach to test hypotheses whenever possible. While I have experience with both qualitative and quantitative methods, my current work mainly employs quantitative methods such as cross-sectional surveys, experimental designs, behaviour change interventions, and analysis of large scale cross-cultural datasets.
