Efficacy of a Digital Nonattachment-Based Intervention for Post-traumatic Stress Symptoms
Exploring the Cultivation of Nonattachment for Symptoms of Post-Traumatic Stress
Nonattachment involves acceptance, deep presence, understanding of self as universally interconnected, and creating perceptual distance between stimulus and response. This study investigated the experience of participants in a programme of nonattachment for post-traumatic stress (NPTS) and what these insights could yield about cultivating nonattachment in clinical and sub-clinical contexts. Reflexive Thematic Analysis was conducted on data from r…
An exploration of successful psychosocial adjustment to long-term in-centre haemodialysis
Objectives Haemodialysis extends life for people with end-stage kidney disease (ESKD) worldwide, but it imposes significant psychosocial burdens and there is little evidence about successful adjustment. This study aimed to improve understanding of successful psychosocial adjustment to in-centre haemodialysis (ICHD; dialysis in a hospital or satellite unit).Methods Individual semi-structured interviews were conducted with a purposive sample of 18 …
Emotion Regulation and Psychological Dependence on Pain Medication among Hospital Outpatients with Chronic Spinal Pain
Rumination and alexithymia moderated the associations between pain intensity and psychological pain medication dependence, consistent with emotion regulation theory. This raises the possibility that specifically targeting rumination about pain and symptoms of alexithymia could potentially improve the effectiveness of psychological interventions for chronic pain and help people to avoid or reduce their psychological dependence on pain medication

Parental Involvement in Child Protection Services and Parenting Experience as Alcohol and Other Drug Use
This article explores the emotional experiences of drug- and/or alcohol-using parents who have child protective Social Services involvement. Research suggests that protective processes can reduce children’s experience of poor outcomes whilst parents undergo treatment for substance misuse. Semi-structured interviews combined with photovoice and journal writing were used to generate data. Eight UK-based parents participated. Each was accessing drug…
How healthcare providers’ own death anxiety influences their communication with patients in end-of-life care
Healthcare providers' own death anxiety can influence end-of-life communication. We interviewed nine palliative care health providers about their experiences of providing end-of-life care. Participants also completed the Revised Death Anxiety Scale. A thematic analysis of the interview transcripts identified one theme labeled "avoidant coping" and another labeled "death anxiety awareness"; each is presented in the context of the participants' own…
Academics' understandings of the authorial academic writer
Research on authorial identity has focused almost exclusively on the attitudes and beliefs of students. This paper explores how academics understand authorial identity in higher education. Semi-structured interviews were conducted with professional academics and analysed using thematic analysis, identifying themes at two levels. At the semantic level was a main theme called ‘the authorial writer’, with five subthemes: ‘authorial confidence’, ‘val…
Development and validation of the Student Attitudes and Beliefs about Authorship Scale
One approach to plagiarism prevention focuses on improving students' authorial identity, but work in this area depends on robust measures. This paper presents the development of a psychometrically robust measure of authorial identity – the Student Attitudes and Beliefs about Authorship Scale. In the item generation phase, a pool of items was developed and assessed for content validity by subject matter experts. In the exploratory phase, data from…
Managing multiple goals during fertility treatment
This study investigated how men and women made sense of multiple goals during fertility treatment. Both members of three heterosexual couples participated in two or three semi-structured interviews over 6 months, producing 14 accounts, which were analysed using interpretative phenomenological analysis. The goal of biological parenthood dominates assumptions in infertility research, but its importance varied between participants, who balanced that…
Dyslexia, authorial identity, and approaches to learning and writing
Background. Dyslexia may lead to difficulties with academic writing as well as reading. The authorial identity approach aims to help students improve their academic writing and avoid unintentional plagiarism, and could help to understand dyslexic students' approaches to writing.Aims. (1) To compare dyslexic and non-dyslexic students' authorial identity and approaches to learning and writing; (2) to compare correlations between approaches to writi…
Respect, trust, and the management of sickle cell disease pain in hospital
An agenda for international, interdisciplinary research to improve the treatment of SCD pain in hospital should include: comparative analyses between countries and treatment settings of factors that could influence respect and trust; research to test hypotheses derived from models about the roles of respect and trust in the treatment of pain; studies of the impact of healthcare structures and policy on patients' experiences of care; research focu…
Evaluation of an intervention to help students avoid unintentional plagiarism by improving their authorial identity
Students with poorly developed authorial identity may be at risk of unintentional plagiarism. An instructional intervention designed specifically to improve authorial identity was delivered to 364 psychology students at three post‐1992 universities in London, UK, and evaluated with before‐and‐after measures of beliefs and attitudes about academic authorship, using the Student Authorship Questionnaire. Changes in questionnaire scores showed that t…
Student beliefs and attitudes about authorial identity in academic writing
Authorial identity is the sense a writer has of themselves as an author and the textual identity they construct in their writing. This article describes two studies exploring psychology students' authorial identity in academic writing. A qualitative focus group study with 19 students showed that authorial identity was largely unfamiliar to students, and highlighted the obstacles perceived by students to constructing authorial identities in univer…
Complex skills and academic writing
Assessment criteria are increasingly incorporated into teaching, making it important to clarify the pedagogic status of the qualities to which they refer. We reviewed theory and evidence about the extent to which four core criteria for student writing—critical thinking, use of language, structuring, and argument—refer to the outcomes of three types of learning: generic skills learning, a deep approach to learning, and complex learning. The analys…
A Qualitative Analysis of Psychological Processes Mediating Quality of Life Impairments in Chronic Daily Headache
Quality of life impairments are greater in chronic daily headache (CDH) than in episodic headache conditions like migraine. This qualitative interview study aimed to identify psychological processes associated with quality of life impairments among individuals meeting diagnostic criteria for CDH. Grounded theory analysis showed that perceived loss of control was the central experience mediating the impact of CDH on quality of life. The results pr…
Pain management and symptoms of substance dependence among patients with sickle cell disease
An application of judgment analysis to examination marking in psychology
Statistical combinations of specific measures have been shown to be superior to expert judgment in several fields. In this study, judgment analysis was applied to examination marking to investigate factors that influenced marks awarded and contributed to differences between first and second markers. Seven markers in psychology rated 551 examination answers on seven 'aspects' for which specific assessment criteria had been developed to support goo…
Explanations for Apparent Late Onset Criminality in a High-Risk Sample of Children Followed up in Adult Life
We examined the psychiatric and forensic histories of 13 individuals whose first officially recorded criminal conviction took place after their 22nd birthday, and compared the levels of disturbance among that group with those from the same high-risk sample who had (a) no recorded convictions, (b) convictions only up to age 21, and (c) convictions before and after age 22. Among the 13 with recorded convictions only after age 22, there was evidence…
Behavioral correlates of individual differences in road-traffic crash risk
This article considers methodological issues relevant to the study of differential crash involvement and reviews the findings of research in this area. Aspects of both driving skill and driving style appear to contribute to crash risk. Of the former, hazard-perception latency appears to play an important role, and this may be attributable to generalized abilities to identify visual targets in a complex background and to switch attention rapidly. …
Behavioral correlates of individual differences in road-traffic crash risk
Mild social deviance, Type-A behaviour pattern and decision-making style as predictors of self-reported driving style and traffic accident risk
A 10-item self-report scale for mild social deviance (the Social Motivation Questionnaire) was developed and used in a study examining the role of social deviance in traffic accident risk. The scale focused on self-serving behaviours which might directly or indirectly harm the interests of others. Data were obtained from 108 drivers taking part in a research programme examining a range of factors underlying traffic accident risk. Apart from socia…
