About

Dr. Amisha Singh is a research-intensive behavioral scientist and Assistant Professor specializing in advanced psychometrics, structural equation modeling, and longitudinal research design. She earned her PhD in Psychology from the University of Delhi, where her doctoral work examined the psychological and social determinants of thriving among sport performers using multi-wave longitudinal methodologies and complex quantitative modeling frameworks. Her research program focuses on early-stage psychological processes such as confidence erosion, relational power distortions, impostor phenomenon, and performance sustainability, particularly within high-achieving institutional and competitive environments. By integrating cognitive, relational, and socioeconomic perspectives, her work contributes to performance psychology, resilience science, and the broader behavioral understanding of how dynamic social contexts shape mental energy, well-being, and long-term achievement outcomes.

Dr. Singh’s methodological expertise includes latent variable modeling, confirmatory factor analysis, cross-lagged panel modeling, mediation and moderation analysis, multilevel and hierarchical modeling, and psychometric scale development and validation. She has designed and implemented longitudinal and mixed-method research across sport, educational, and psychosocial populations, leading large-scale survey architectures and refining measurement frameworks for diverse institutional settings. Her scholarship emphasizes identifying indirect and time-sensitive pathways linking relational processes to performance and well-being, as well as translating advanced statistical insights into actionable behavioral diagnostics and evidence-informed interventions for academic, sport, and policy stakeholders.

Her publications appear in SSCI- and Scopus-indexed journals with major academic publishers including Springer Nature, SAGE, Cambridge University Press, and Taylor & Francis. She has presented her research at prominent international conferences such as the American Psychological Association conventions and the Psychology and the Other Conference in the United States, as well as leading national academic forums in India. Her broader research portfolio spans topics such as psychosocial adjustment in survivorship contexts, inclusive peer relationships in schools, educational equity, and systemic influences on adult and adolescent well-being. Through interdisciplinary collaborations, she contributes to theoretical advancement and practical problem-solving in behavioral science and applied psychology.

In addition to her research contributions, Dr. Singh has held teaching and mentoring roles at the University of Delhi, where she has delivered undergraduate and postgraduate curricula in research methodology and supervised student dissertations involving advanced statistical modeling. She has contributed to institutional research quality enhancement initiatives, including accreditation processes, and actively supports early-career researchers through publication mentoring and methodological training. She also serves as a peer reviewer for international journals and engages in editorial work within academic publishing initiatives.

Her professional experience includes applied behavioral psychology roles in health and survivorship programs, where she developed structured psychosocial intervention frameworks and contributed to national-level program strategies. Combining academic rigor with translational impact, Dr. Singh’s work seeks to bridge the gap between complex behavioral science research and real-world institutional decision-making. Her long-term research vision centers on developing integrated diagnostic systems and evidence-based interventions that enhance resilience, performance sustainability, and psychological well-being across educational, sport, and organizational contexts.
