The Response Processes in Validation Project is a series of studies examining the mechanisms that underlie what people do, think, or feel when responding to, or interacting with, test items or tasks. Response processes can help us in validation work to determine whether the inferences we make from test scores are meaningful, appropriate, and useful. This project began with the book, Understanding and investigating response processes in validation research, which was edited by Bruno Zumbo and myself and published in 2017. This book was intended to push the boundaries and our understanding of response processes. Currently, I have two grant-funded projects examining (a) the current state of affairs in response processes research, and (b) whether respondents process items differently based on item features.

Still ongoing is research stemming from the Health and Housing in Transition (HHiT) Study. This longitudinal study of the health of homeless and vulnerably housed adults in Vancouver, Toronto, and Ottawa was initially funded by a $1.6 million Canadian Institutes for Health Research (CIHR) grant and then subsequently extended for an additional $1.1 million by CIHR. This study is one of several studies being conducted by members of the Research Alliance for Canadian Homelessness, Housing, and Health (REACH3) of which Dr. Hubley is a member.

Also ongoing is research related to the Hubley Depression Scale for Older Adults. Several linked validation studies are currently being prepared for publication.
