Micheal Eysenck(1944- is a British cognitive psychologist, Head of Psychology at Royal Holloway and Bedford College.
His research focusses on cognitive factors affecting anxiety.
Eysenck has authored or co-authored numerous publications, including several textbooks. In the late 1990's, he conceptualised the theory of the 'Hedonic treadmill', stating that humans are predisposed by genetics to plateau at a certain level of happiness, and that the occurrence of novel happy events merely elevates this level temporarily.
He is the son of Hans Eysenck.
