My name is Aiden P. Gregg. I am an academic psychologist with a Ph.D from  Yale University. I currently work at the University of Southampton as part of the Centre for Research on Self and Identity there.

I have recently (August 2008) become (somewhat) active on Wikipedia. My goal is to create and improve psychology articles, which are currently patchy and poor compared to, say, physics articles. I intend to focus on articles in one of my areas of expertise, the psychology of self and  identity (e.g., self-concept, self-esteem, self-control).

I will be coordinating, along with my colleague Claire Hart, a  Self and Identity Task Force of various students of self and identity who will create and edit articles under the general rubric of the  Psychology WikiProject.
