Bio/Research
Tanya is a Tier II Canada Research Chair in Physical Activity Promotion and an Alberta Innovates - Health Solutions Population Health Investigator whose research interests are in physical activity messaging.
Her main focus is to study the roles of both conscious and automatic cognitive systems in obesogenic behaviours such as physical activity (PA) and diet, with the long-term goal of understanding how best to facilitate positive health behaviours. This is an important and innovative program because traditional approaches to changing health behaviours assume that individuals are motivated to think about the consequences of their actions (i.e., makes decisions based upon reflection).
Her research has been funded by the Alberta Heritage Foundation for Medical Research (AHFMR), Social Sciences and Humanities Research Council (SSHRC), the Heart and Stroke Foundation of Canada (HSFC) and the Canadian Institutes of Health Research (CIHR) .
