One long-standing interest is individual difference factors (e.g., attachment style, Conscientiousness) associated with physical health, health behaviours, and coping with medical problems and seeking treatment for them. A more recent interest is singing, health and well-being.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>Please note that Dr. Gick retired July 1, 2018.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Selected Publications<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Gick, M., &amp; Nicol, J.
