Education
[edit]Gillespie completed his undergraduate degree in psychology at Trinity College Dublin, followed by a Masters degree at the London School of Economics, and then a PhD at the University of Cambridge. After completing his PhD he held faculty positions at the University of Stirling and the University of Cambridge.[1]
Career
[edit]Gillespie is a Professor of Psychological and Behavioral Science at the London School of Economics and a research professor at Oslo New University.[2][3] He is the co-Editor of the Journal for the Theory of Social Behavior.[4]
Research
[edit]Gillespie proposed Position Exchange Theory to explain how perspective taking might develop through people exchanging social positions in routine social interactions.[5][6]. In order to study intra-psychological perspective-taking he developed the methodology of dialogical analysis for studying multivoicedness in texts (e.g., people using direct and indirect reported speech).[7]
One applied application of his work is the Healthcare Complaints Analysis Tool, for analyzing healthcare complaints from patients and finding solutions to improve the patient experience and identify blindspots and failures of perspective taking.[8]. This tool enables hospitals to take the perspective of patients and learn from them. He has also used natural language processing, to show how patient feedback online could be an early warning signal of hospital-level mortality rates.[9]
Another application of his research is the Unobtrusive Corporate Culture Analysis Tool (UCCAT), a tool for analyzing corporate culture, and especially communicative dynamics within the culture (such as listening and speaking up).[10][11]
Gillespie also advanced the Cyranoid and Echoborg methodologies to study how people listen to what they see rather than what they hear.[12]
