Mar 18th 2025, 07:29
In my experience of placement development, if we are to support the growth of Social Work Apprenticeships in health-based social work, we have a task to change minds. We need to challenge the myths that surround the provision of social work placements that, like many myths, are based on misunderstanding.

Mar 18th 2025, 07:07
Teaching of Psychology, Ahead of Print. BackgroundRelatively few studies focus on Course-Based Undergraduate Research Experiences (CUREs) to improve retention of knowledge and enhance student research experience in the social sciences.ObjectiveWe introduced a modified, manual version of the Balloon Analogue Risk Task (BART), in which students engaged in all phases of a research project, including the development of a risk-taking assessment, participant recruitment, scale administration, presentation of the modified BART, data collection, and data entry and analysis.MethodTo determine the effectiveness of the CUREs, students self-reported their research knowledge and skills using pre–post measures. Additionally, we measured attitudes and perceptions of the student’s experience with the research project.ResultsResults from the learning outcomes demonstrated increased research knowledge and skills and a positive overall experience with the project.ConclusionThe modified BART is an effective CURE for engaging undergraduate psychology students enrolled in research methods courses.Teaching ImplicationsEngagement through hands-on research project design and data collection, as demonstrated with the modified BART, may serve to increase the overall retention of information and enhance class experience, potentially creating a pipeline for further engagement in high-impact practices for undergraduate psychology students.

Mar 18th 2025, 06:49
ABSTRACT
The DSM-5 classifies posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) symptomatology into four distinct clusters and numerous studies have examined the psychosocial risk factors predicting these clusters across various types of trauma. However, no research has specifically explored the unique predictors of PTSD clusters in women survivors of intimate partner violence (IPV) This retrospective study analysed the DSM-5-proposed psychosocial predictors of PTSD symptom clusters (severity of violence, previous trauma, social support, emotional regulation, coping strategies and blame) in 333 women who had filed a police report for IPV. Through linear step regression analysis, five models were estimated for the four clusters and the PTSD diagnosis dissociation specifier. The findings showed both common and specific factors associated with the different PTSD clusters. Unsatisfactory emotional processing and negative self-focussing emerged as the predominant factors common to PTSD clusters and, to a lesser extent, emotional impoverishment and emotions of guilt. Childhood trauma was identified as a risk factor in all clusters, although its influence was attenuated when emotional regulation was considered. The severity of violence was a specific predictor for the intrusion cluster, and emotional avoidance predicted the PTSD cluster of avoidance symptoms. Social support acted as a protective factor for the cluster of mood disorders. The adjusted R
2 for the models ranged from 0.23 to 0.45. Taken together, the results highlight the need to distinguish specific symptom categories within the overall diagnosis of PTSD and offer an empirical perspective for better understanding and more accurate treatment for women survivors of IPV with PTSD.

Mar 18th 2025, 05:19
Abstract
Objectives
According to Stets and Burke’s Identity Theory, people experience negative affect when their behaviour deviates from their identity standards, which drives the regulation of identity-relevant behaviour. Guilt and shame represent unique forms of negative affect. Self-compassion may influence guilt and shame responses about identity-behaviour inconsistencies. Relative to exercise identity, we examined the associations between (1) guilt and shame, behavioural intentions, and perceptions of identity-behaviour re-alignment after an identity-inconsistent situation and (2) whether self-compassion moderates the relationship between these forms of negative affect and both behavioural intentions and identity-behaviour re-alignment.
Design
Prospective, online, quantitative.
Methods
N = 274 exercisers (M
age = 32.5 years, SDage = 10.8 years, 50.2% women) who engaged in less exercise in the past week than their identity standard were recruited from Prolific.com. At baseline, self-compassion, state and trait guilt and shame, and exercise intentions were measured. One week later, participants reported the extent to which their past week’s exercise aligned with their identity standard (i.e., identity-consistent perceptions).
Results
Neither state shame nor guilt related to exercise intentions nor identity-consistent perceptions. Self-compassion moderated the relationship between state guilt and identity-consistent perceptions (b = 2.524, SE = .975, t = 2.588, p = .010); state guilt was related to identity-behaviour consistency when self-compassion was high, but not when it was low. No other moderations were significant.
Conclusions
This study adds nuance to Identity Theory and its propositions about negative affect and self-regulation; self-compassion may create the conditions necessary for negative affect to drive identity-relevant behaviour as proposed by identity theory.

Mar 18th 2025, 04:54
Abstract
Objective
Engaging individuals with co-occurring posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) and alcohol misuse (AM) in effective treatments is difficult. Brief, self-directed approaches that deliver empirically supported intervention techniques, such as cognitive-behavioural therapy (CBT) strategies, via technology may be effective and easier-to-access alternatives to traditional in-person therapy approaches for PTSD + AM. This paper describes the protocol for an intervention development study (NCT05372042) that evaluates a text-message intervention combining CBT texts with techniques from cognitive psychology (message framing) and social psychology (growth mindsets) for treatment of PTSD + AM.
Method
The study uses a 3 (message framing: gain vs. loss vs. no framing) × 2 (mindset: growth mindsets vs. not) factorial design to test enhancements to CBT texts. Individuals age 18+, who report symptoms of PTSD and AM, will be recruited to participate. Participants will complete screening, verification, and baseline measures. They will be randomized to condition and receive 3 text messages per week for 4 weeks. Participants will be assessed at post-, 1-, and 3-month follow-up.
Results
Analyses will evaluate whether framing and growth mindsets enhance the efficacy of CBT texts. A priori decision rules will be applied to select the intervention condition that is both the most effective and the simplest, which will be tested in a follow-up randomized controlled trial.
Conclusions
This study will identify the simplest, most efficacious CBT intervention for PTSD + AM. Its use of cognitive and social psychology-based enhancement and of a factorial decision can serve as examples of how to enhance and increase engagement in brief, self-directed CBT interventions.

Mar 18th 2025, 03:09
International Journal of Behavioral Development, Ahead of Print. This study aims to compare the ratings of primary caregivers and teachers of any mental health problems of preschool children in rural China. The primary caregivers and teachers provided their ratings of mental health of 1,191 sample rural preschool children (mean age = 56.8 months; 587 girls) using the Strengths and Difficulties Questionnaire (SDQ). According to the findings, primary caregivers consistently gave their children higher SDQ scores and identified more symptoms across the different categories of mental health problems (i.e., normal, borderline, and abnormal) than teachers. The correlations between the ratings of caregivers and the ratings of teachers were low. The study also identifies the characteristics of children, caregivers, and teacher that were correlated with the differences in the ratings. Specifically, boys, children that were identified by scales of cognitively development as being delayed, and those that parented with authoritarian style were more likely to be rated differently by primary caregivers and teachers. In addition, primary caregivers from relatively poor families rated their children differently from teachers, compared with primary caregivers from relatively rich families. Regarding teachers, they tended to rate on child mental health differently from primary caregivers when they were male or at older age. These findings suggest considering multi-informant reports when assessing the mental health problems of preschool children in different settings. In addition, understanding factors linked to informant discrepancies can potentially improve the accuracy of the assessments.

Mar 18th 2025, 02:32
Sociological Methods &Research, Ahead of Print. In this article, we develop a mixed-methods design that combines Bayesian regression with Bayesian process tracing. A fully Bayesian multimethod design allows one to include empirical knowledge at each stage of the analysis and to coherently transfer information from the quantitative to the qualitative analysis, and vice versa. We present a complete mixed-methods workflow explaining how this is accomplished and how to integrate both methods. It is demonstrated how to use the posterior highest density interval and the Bayes factor from the regression analysis to update the prior level of confidence about what mechanisms possibly connect the cause to the outcome. It is further shown how to choose cases for the qualitative analysis through posterior predictive sampling. We illustrate this approach with an empirical analysis of colonial development and compare it with alternative designs, including nested analysis and the Bayesian integration of qualitative and quantitative methods.

Mar 18th 2025, 02:08
Affilia, Ahead of Print. Australia is experiencing both a housing crisis and an increase in extreme weather events due to global warming. This largely dry continent, beset by bushfires and floods, is a land of stark inequality. These inequitable landscapes make recovery from disaster difficult and prolonged for those already marginalised. National statistics reveal that older women are the fastest growing group facing housing precarity, and disasters compound upon this dire situation. This paper presents a relational rights-based approach, informed by a feminist ethics of care, to attain the right to adequate housing for all in the Australian context.

Mar 18th 2025, 01:07
Teaching of Psychology, Ahead of Print. BackgroundMental illness stigma includes inaccurate stereotypes and is associated with treatment reluctance. Undergraduate psychology courses represent an opportunity for stigma reduction efforts, and yet mental illness stigma may be only minimally affected by standard offerings.ObjectiveWe present preliminary evidence of a single-day inquiry-based learning (IBL) activity to address mental illness stigma.MethodUndergraduate psychology students (N = 79) completed a stigma scale on the first day of class, participated in an IBL lab, and then completed the scale a second time.ResultsThe mean score of mental illness stigma at the start of the semester was significantly higher than the postintervention mean score, providing preliminary evidence for the effectiveness of the activity.Teaching ImplicationsThis single-session IBL activity can be implemented in introductory to clinical psychology courses.ConclusionThe activity shows promise as an active-learning strategy to address mental illness stigma. Future research is needed to build on the efficacy of the approach.

Mar 18th 2025, 00:08
Affilia, Ahead of Print. In this current context, critical epistemologies, methodologies, and frameworks like Participatory Action Research (PAR), decolonial theory, and situational analysis can provide relevant tools for critical feminist social work research and praxis to expose and reenvision harmful, extractive, and privatized knowledge generation and dissemination. In this article, I describe the possibilities for using critical situational analysis to promote critical feminist social work scholarship through the interrogation of colonial forms of knowledge production, recognition of enactments of refusal and resistance, and illustrations of situational mapping from a study focused on exploring power differentials within PAR collaborations among social work faculty and community stakeholders. I then discuss possibilities to incorporate these analytic qualitative methodologies and frameworks to promote critical feminist principles for critical qualitative inquiry.

Mar 17th 2025, 23:07
Psychological Bulletin, Vol 151(2), Feb 2025, 240-259; doi:10.1037/bul0000460
This meta-review provides the first meta-analytic evidence from published meta-analyses examining the effectiveness of acute exercise interventions on cognitive function. A multilevel meta-analysis with a random-effects model and tests of moderators were performed in R. Thirty systematic reviews with meta-analyses (383 unique studies with 18,347 participants) were identified. Acute exercise significantly improved cognitive function with a small-to-medium effect (N of standardized mean difference [SMD] = 44, mean SMD [M SMD] = 0.33, 95% CI [0.24, 0.42], p M SMD = 0.37), mixed/other (M SMD = 0.36), executive function (M SMD = 0.36), memory (M SMD = 0.23), and information processing (M SMD = 0.20). The timepoint of assessment was a significant moderator (p M SMD = 0.32). Sample descriptors (i.e., age, cognitive status) and exercise parameters (i.e., intensity, type, duration) did not moderate the positive acute exercise effect on cognitive function (ps > .05). Acute exercise facilitates cognitive function, with the size of the effect varying depending on the timing of assessment in relation to exercise. Notably, these benefits are evident across cognitive domains and occur regardless of participants’ characteristics and exercise settings, supporting the adoption of acute exercise for improved cognitive function across the lifespan.

Mar 17th 2025, 21:42
Abstract
School entry is an important life transition where early disadvantages may have consequences for children’s educational trajectory. This paper provides important evidence on the production of disadvantages by the education system using a novel approach to school starting age (SSA) which is not biased by parental resources or prior dis-advantages. By using due date from the Medical Birth Registry of Norway (MBRN) as an instrumental variable for SSA, and register data covering the entire Norwegian population, I show that a one-year increase in SSA led to a 59 per cent lower risk of being diagnosed with ADHD and significantly higher national test scores in 5th and 9th grade. Additionally, this study finds that 10.1 per cent of births are shifted from the week before the school entry cut-off to the week after. Parents with higher educational attainment are significantly more likely to shift births across the cut-off, providing a cautionary note to studies attempting to estimate causal effects of SSA using month or date of birth. Overall, this study provides important evidence one way in which inequalities are produced by the education system and how socioeconomically advantaged parents may act to mitigate these risks.

Mar 17th 2025, 20:42
Abstract
Objectives
To estimate the prevalence of depression and anxiety symptoms in older Australians accessing in-home aged care, and to identify characteristics associated with symptoms.
Methods
A cross-sectional telephone survey with a random sample of in-home aged care clients from a national provider (Silverchain) was conducted between November 2022 and July 2023. The percentage of clients experiencing depression and anxiety symptoms was estimated, weighted to the age and gender of the Silverchain population. Multivariable linear regression was utilised to identify characteristics associated with higher depression and anxiety symptoms.
Results
A total of 237 participants completed the survey. Over half (52%) of participants experienced symptoms of depression (≥5 on the PHQ-9), while 16% experienced clinically meaningful symptoms indicative of probable major depressive disorder (≥10 on the PHQ-9). Over one-third (37%) of participants experienced symptoms of anxiety (≥5 on the GAD-7), while 12% experienced clinically meaningful symptoms indicative of probable generalised anxiety disorder (≥10 on the GAD-7). Most clients (61%) experienced symptoms of depression and/or anxiety, with 29% experiencing co-morbid symptoms. Younger age, lower quality of life, higher loneliness, living in a major city (compared with rural/remote areas) and living with family (compared to living alone) were associated with higher levels of depression or anxiety symptoms in this cohort.
Conclusions
Symptoms of depression and anxiety are common in older Australians accessing in-home aged care, with many experiencing co-morbid symptoms. In-home aged care providers are ideally situated to identify and facilitate treatment and monitoring for these individuals.
