Life and Career

Leo Brough Hendry was born in Glasgow in November 1934. He grew up in Helensburgh in the Clyde Valley in Scotland. His school and undergraduate qualifications were gained in the Strathclyde region of Scotland and included:  The Scottish Higher Leaving Certificate, Hermitage Academy, Helensburgh (1953), Diploma of the Scottish School of Physical Education, University of Strathclyde (Jordanhill Campus) (1953-56), and the Postgraduate Certificate of Education, Universities of Glasgow & Strathclyde (1957).

His entry into the world of academia was both somewhat late - having had a career as a school-teacher for some years before being appointed to an university post at one of London University’s colleges, and somewhat different - having previously been a national standard spring-board diver, county-level athlete, amateur boxer and competitive gymnast and having had a short amateur career with professional soccer clubs in Scotland and England (Dumbarton F.C. & Weymouth F.C.) until injury ended this, and having been a sports-coach in soccer, cricket, gymnastics and dance, athletics and swimming for adolescents of all standards from beginners to elite level. More recently he has acted as a Sports Psychologist for an Aberdeen-based company called: “Winning Golf”, coaching both enthusiastic amateurs and young tour professionals, having only taken up the game himself in middle-age.

Once in a university post, he gained the following academic qualifications and awards:

Advanced (Part-time) Diploma in Sociology and Psychology, University of Bradford (1967-1969), M.Ed. (with Distinction, University of Leicester, 1970), M.Sc. in Psychology and Sociology (Bradford University, 1971), Ph.D. (Aberdeen University, 1975), D.Litt. (Aberdeen University, 1994), he became a Fellow of the British Psychological Society (1984) and a Chartered Psychologist; and, is currently, Emeritus Professor, University of Aberdeen, Scotland. In 2012 he received a Lifetime Achievement Award of the European Association for Research on Adolescence for his contributions to European research on adolescence.

International engagements

Leo B.Hendry has worked widely and internationally, firstly in British universities - London, Leeds, Aberdeen, Glamorgan and for seven years as a full-time Professor of Psychology, Sports & Health Psychology in the Norwegian University of Science and Technology and Research Professor in the Norwegian Centre for Childhood Research in Trondheim, Norway. Additionally, he has been a Visiting Professor to several universities in both Europe and North America, including Giessen, Ankara, the Free Universities of Amsterdam and Brussels, Mid-Sweden University, University of Southern California, Boston, Seville, Penn State and Cornell; and acted as a Psychological Advisor to the Child and Family Services Department, American Forces (Europe) till the mid-1980’s when the first Iraq conflict commenced. He has also been an a invited keynote speaker to many social science conferences world-wide.

As a scholarly author he has published regularly, often using the findings from an array of  nationally and internationally funded research projects he has been awarded. His research interests ranged from studies of young people’s competitive sports involvement, to investigations of the school context and teacher and pupil relations, early school leaving, adolescents’ leisure pursuits, their family relations, parenting styles, youth workers and young people, mentoring, youth unemployment and training schemes, and adolescent health behaviours. This shifting focus of research interest also developed an inter-cultural dimension and considered contextual implications such as rural living, and social and geographic mobility.

In 1971, he published a rather provocatively titled journal article “Don't put your daughter in the water, Mrs Worthington?” which received considerable media attention because it revealed a darker side to competitive sport and of coach/athlete relationships.

Considerations of ‘developmental change’ in adolescence led towards a more comprehensive approach to studying lifespan development. Adolescence is a time of important transitions and examining these led to discovering a better understanding of the contexts of change over the lifespan, with a detailed and multi-faceted focus on potential mechanisms of change and on factors promoting stability, and how these mechanisms of change apply through the life-course.

To date, he has written over 150 research journal articles, 30 book chapters and 22 books (published in several languages, including Spanish, Italian, Japanese, Korean, Norwegian and Danish).
