Application of Western models of posttraumatic stress disorder in Nepal
Posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) is often diagnosed by counting the number of symptoms experienced in specified symptom clusters, as outlined by the American Psychiatric Association's Diagnostic and Statistical Manual (DSM) of mental illness. However, PTSD measurement tools and this method of diagnosing and treating PTSD, even in non-Western countries, is based on Western concepts of the underlying factor structure. While some research has su…
Parent, Child and Family Factors Associated With Interparental Conflict
Interparental conflict is common in families with young children, and this can impact infants' health and development. Therefore, understanding risk factors for interparental conflict in the early parenting period is needed to inform early identification and support efforts. The present study aimed to identify parent, child and family factors associated with interparental conflict in the first postnatal year. Secondary analyses of self‐report dat…
Predictors of Completion of a Co‐Parenting Intervention Targeting Australian Parents in the Perinatal Period
Efforts to implement co‐parenting interventions are impacted by varying degrees of engagement and programme completion. The aim of this study was to analyse data from a service‐led evaluation of a perinatal intervention targeting co‐parenting (Family Foundations) to examine predictors of programme completion and reasons for non‐completion. Family Foundations was delivered in Melbourne, Australia between 2019 and 2021. Psychosocial factors (e.g., …
Running women or women runners
Safety concerns for women are prevalent and influence their likelihood to exercise outside. While some women modify their exercise behaviour due to safety concerns, others exercise outside more freely. In this paper, two experiments are reported with women runners to examine whether making their identity as a runner or a woman salient changed their self‐reported likelihood of exercising outside, sense of safety and personal safety anxiety. While …
Sins of their fathers’
Paternal incarceration (PI) is recognised as a severely stigmatising event that undermines social connections leaving affected children isolated and vulnerable. However, few studies have explored social group membership as a potential mediator of positive outcomes. This paper analysed data from two national contexts, Scotland and the United States, to examine the potential for social group membership in childhood to mediate the association betwee…
A Service‐Led Pragmatic Evaluation of Family Foundations Targeting the Reduction of Perinatal Parent Mental Health Difficulties and Family Conflict in Australia
A service‐led evaluation of home‐based Family Foundations (FF), a perinatal intervention targeting interparental conflict and mental health difficulties, was conducted in Melbourne, Australia. The aims were to assess (a) pre–post intervention changes, (b) parent satisfaction and (c) intervention fidelity. Participants included 288 families who completed self‐report surveys, and FF clinicians who completed fidelity checklists. Approximately 78% of…
New social identities in Ukrainian 'refugees
Experiencing traumatic events often drives profound post-traumatic stress (PTS), but trauma also has the potential to engender positive consequences, such as post-traumatic growth (PTG). Traumatic experiences may also lead to gaining new identities which can have both protective (i.e., social cure) or damaging (i.e., social curse) effects on health and well-being. This study aims to examine the role of new social identities and related social ide…
A preliminary review of the parenting assessment and skill development service
Tweddle's Parenting Assessment and Skill Development Service (PASDS) is a 10‐day residential programme for families at risk of child maltreatment. The service aims to conduct a comprehensive parenting capacity assessment to inform case management and improve parenting practices. The aims of the study were to (1) describe the psychosocial functioning of parents taking part in PASDS, (2) describe the key parenting assessment outcomes, and (3) explo…
Institutional status and identity dimensions to cardiovascular stress responses
This study aimed to examine the effect of shared social identity (i.e., whether the source of information about a stressor comes from an ingroup vs. outgroup member) and message content (i.e., whether people were informed that the task is stressful vs. challenging) on cardiovascular reactivity to stress (CVR) across two higher education institutions differing in status (University vs. Institute of Technology [IoT]). The study employed a quasi‐exp…
Sexual violence and traumatic identity change
Recent research indicates that social identities play a crucial role in the connection between adversity, post‐traumatic stress, and overall psychological well‐being. Understanding of how trauma influences collective dimensions of the self, positively or negatively, is limited. This study focuses on analysing publicly accessible narratives of four women who chose to waive their anonymity after the conviction of the men who had attacked and sexual…
Social integration
Overall, the results indicated that dysregulated cardiovascular stress responses owing to childhood trauma may be shaped by a lack of social integration. The implications of this, as well as the findings for the individual types of trauma, are discussed. (PsycInfo Database Record (c) 2024 APA, all rights reserved)
An Introduction to Seshat
This article introduces the Seshat: Global History Databank, its potential, and its methodology. Seshat is a databank containing vast amounts of quantitative data buttressed by qualitative nuance for a large sample of historical and archaeological polities. The sample is global in scope and covers the period from the Neolithic Revolution to the Industrial Revolution. Seshat allows scholars to capture dynamic processes and to test theories about t…
Anatolian Empires
Çadır Höyük provides rich evidence for the endurance and transformation of specific cultural features and phenomena at a rural center on the Anatolian plateau as it experienced the waxing and waning of control by imperial political powers of the Bronze and Iron Ages. Especially evident during those periods of imperial power is the construction and maintenance of public architecture; certain economic activities also shift in their importance at th…
The Longue Durée
The three preceding articles in this issue traced village life at Çadır Höyük from the fourth millennium BCE to its probable final abandonment in the thirteenth or possibly the fourteenth century CE. The authors attempted to identify the trials and tribulations, triumphs and tragedies endured by hundreds of generations of Çadır residents over five millennia of occupation. In this article we both broaden and narrow the discussion. We take a broad …
From the Guest Editors
This theme issue on the site of Çadır Höyük, in the Yozgat province of the north central Anatolian plateau, came out of a discussion with Ann Killebrew, co-editor of JEMAHS. When it was decided that Ann would welcome a proposal for the issue, the challenge to the guest editors was what we should cover, given that Çadır was occupied for over 5,000 years! After a team meeting in the field in 2018, we had an outline of articles, described in more de…
Working hard and playing hard
Pivoting East
The investigation of ‘complex connectivities’ as defined by Tomlinson (1999) as a critical element in the understanding of how modern globalization works has been repurposed by archaeologists as a model to explain the mechanisms at work in the archaeological past. This study applies Tomlinson’s model to interpret evidence that such connectivities linked the vast Uruk system in Mesopotamia, the contemporary Kura-Araxes culture in Transcaucasia, an…
When the Giant Falls
At the end of the Late Bronze Age, around 1200 b.c., the Hittite Empire of Anatolia collapsed. While that collapse has been well studied, the effects on Hittite-held lands are less so, with many archaeologists positing an abandonment in Hittite territories for a period of time early in the Iron Age. Recent excavations at Çadır Höyük, 70 kilometers from the Hittite capital, have revealed both typical Hittite material culture belonging to the Late …
Stability and change at Çadır Höyük in central Anatolia
Scholars have recently investigated the efficacy of applying globalisation models to ancient cultures such as the fourth-millennium BC Mesopotamian Uruk system. Embedded within globalisation models is the ‘complex connectivity‘ that brings disparate regions together into a singular world. In the fourth millennium BC, the site of Çadır Höyük on the north-central Anatolian plateau experienced dramatic changes in its material culture and architectur…

The Oxford Handbook of Ancient Anatolia
The Oxford Handbook of Ancient Anatolia is a unique blend of comprehensive overviews on archaeological, philological, linguistic, and historical issues at the forefront of Anatolian scholarship in the twenty-first century. Anatolia is home to early complex societies and great empires, and was the destination of many migrants, visitors, and invaders. The offerings in this book bring this reality to life, as the articles unfold nearly 10,000 years …
Indo-Europeans
This article presents an overview of the arrival and florescence of the Indo-European languages in Anatolia, the most famous of which is Hittite. The weight of current linguistic evidence supports the traditional view that Indo-European speakers are intrusive to Asia Minor, coming from somewhere in eastern Europe. There is a growing consensus that the differentiation among the Indo-European Anatolian languages begins at least by the mid-second mi…
Excavations on the north-central plateau
The last decade of excavations at Çadır Höyük, in the north-central region of the Anatolian plateau, has revealed a well-established Late Chalcolithic community with continuous occupation into the Early Bronze I period (mid fourth to early third millennium BC). While the Late Chalcolithic town was prosperous, with well-made houses and objects, and even monumental construction, the stability of the settlement had slipped by the Early Bronze I phas…
The Late Chalcolithic at Çadtr Höyük in Central Anatolia
Southern Anatolian plateau sites such as çatalhöyük, Kuruçay, and Hacilar have provided detailed knowledge on the socio-political and economic lives of their prehistoric residents. In comparison, the north central area of the plateau has been virtually a blank slate due to a relative lack of data. Our excavations at the site of çadir Höyük have added substantially to our understanding of Late Chalcolithic (ca. 3500–3100 B.C.) occupation on the no…
