Innovative methodologies for expertise identification and performance psychology
D2PT: Descriptor-Driven Performance Testing
My primary research contribution is the development of D2PT (Descriptor-Driven Performance Testing), an innovative methodology for identifying expertise that challenges traditional credentialing systems.
D2PT demonstrates that beneficiaries can identify expert performance more accurately than institutional stakeholders, privileging the perspectives of those who directly experience services over credentials and institutional affiliations.
A comprehensive book on D2PT methodology is currently in development with Routledge Psychology.
