Rate My Professor Monique Crane

Monique Crane's research specializations centre on occupational resilience, investigating the mechanisms that enable the refinement and development of resilience capacities over time, particularly their impact on work performance in occupational domains. Her work explores the conceptualisation and strengthening of human resilience through reflective practices, rather than cognitive-behavioural coping skills, and includes the development and implementation of resilience training for the Australian Defence Force and large corporations. She has received major awards such as the 2023 Defence Science and Technology prize for best paper on demands, resources, and self-regulation in the Navy context; the 2018 Department of Psychology prize for translating research into practice; 2016 Vice-Chancellor’s Awards for Programs that Enhance Learning; and 2010 and 2023 Defence Science and Technology prizes. Key publications include the Longitudinal Australian Defence Force Study Evaluating Resilience reports (2015-2016), Implementation of the Integrated Self-Reflection Training Program reports (2021-2022), and peer-reviewed articles such as 'Reflection to resilience: a qualitative study of non-ruminative self-reflection, rumination, and resilience in emerging adults' (2026, Emerging Adulthood), 'Supervisors as enhancers of workplace resilience training' (2026, Journal of Personnel Psychology), and 'A Multisystems Approach to Demand and Resilience Resource Profiles within the At-Sea Deployment Setting' (2024). With an h-index of 21 and over 1,740 citations, her contributions influence organisational mental health practices and resilience interventions. She has chaired panel discussions at the Workplace Health and Wellbeing Summit (2017).
