Mackenzie Cox

I have recently completed my undergraduate studies in Psychological Science and have commenced my Honours year with The Cognitive and Clinical Curiosity Lab. I am very fortunate to have Dr Taylor Swain as my supervisor for my Honours year.

My thesis aims to investigate how, despite commendable efforts to raise awareness of mental health issues, this process may be leading people to perceive mental health campaign messages and subsequently interpret everyday stress symptoms as pathological. Known as the Prevalence Inflation Hypothesis, my thesis will experimentally test this possibility.
