Fear of missing out and escapism mediate the relationship between loneliness and both problematic social media and problematic smartphone use
Theory of planned behaviour on physical activity among Hong Kong university students
Physical activity (PA) rates decrease as students' progress through their academic journey, with the steepest decline observed in the transition from high school to university. In Hong Kong, PA participation rates among university students are concerningly low, varying by sex and residence. The present study utilised the Theory of Planned Behaviour (TPB) to explain PA intention and behaviour in Hong Kong university students. Participants were 402…
We’re Putting All Our Eggs in the Gender Basket”
Since 1987, Australia has witnessed dedicated policies and investment aiming to increase the number of girls and women participating in community sport. Over four decades, gender equity policies and initiatives have been extensive; however, these have rarely sought to explicitly address intersectional forms of discrimination experienced by women and girls. There is also a lack of understanding of how community sports clubs respond to intersection…
Psychometric analysis of the Italian Doomscrolling Scale
Doomscrolling is a fairly new concept in mental health research which has attracted significant attention in recent years. Doomscrolling involves individuals spending excessive time online reading unpleasant news, and leading to negative emotional states (e.g., sadness, anxiety, anger, etc.). Several studies have found that doomscrolling is associated with lower quality of life, poorer mental well-being, and problematic technology use. In Italy, …
FoMO and Psychological Distress Mediate the Relationship Between Life Satisfaction, Problematic Smartphone Use, and Problematic Social Media Use
Low life satisfaction has often been associated with problematic social media use (PSMU), problematic smartphone use (PSU), FoMO and psychological distress. However, no studies have analyzed the relationship between life satisfaction, PSMU, PSU, FoMO, and psychological distress, in an integrated model. The present study hypothesized that life satisfaction may influence PSMU and PSU through the role of FoMO and psychological distress. A cross-sect…
The Italian Version of the Escapism Social Media Scale (ESMS)
The present study evaluated the psychometric properties of the Italian version of the newly developed Escapism Social Media Scale (ESMS). Construct validity, convergent validity, and discriminant validity of the ESMS were analyzed with other related constructs such as coping strategies, fear of missing out (FoMO), problematic social media use (PSMU), mental well-being (MWB), and psychological distress. A convenience sample of Italian participants…
Bahasa Indonesia version of Weight Stigma Exposure Inventory (WeSEI)
The mediating role of physical activity avoidance in the association between weight stigma and physical activity
Relationship between body mass index and quality of life among Malaysian young adults
The present cross-sectional study examined how perceived weight stigma (PWS) and weight-related self-stigma (WRSS) may sequentially mediate the relationship between body mass index (BMI) and quality of life (QoL) among Malaysian young adults. Malaysian university students ( n = 1044; mean age = 21.3 years) self-reported their height/weight and completed the Weight Self-Stigma Questionnaire, Perceived Weight Stigma Scale, and World Health Organiza…
How is intersectionality being represented by Australian sports organisations? A content analysis
In the realm of critical social theory, the application of intersectionality is crucial for addressing social inequalities and advocating for social justice. Our research focuses on the growing integration of intersectionality in Australian sport systems, a development observed in government documents and sports organisations’ operational procedures. Despite this trend, challenges persist in effectively implementing intersectionality due to the c…
Pain(ful) research
Qualitative research methods play a central role in pain and health research, especially in enhancing understandings of lived experiences. This article focuses on the experiences of a researcher living with a chronic pain condition completing in-depth qualitative interviews exploring knee pain and osteoarthritis experiences, treatment and management. Using a collaborative autoethnographic approach, the article considers how the lived experience o…
Queering a community sports club in Australia
Community sporting clubs have traditionally been shaped by hegemonic masculine norms. This paper presents a case study exploration of an independent regional women and gender diverse Australian football club. Interviews, observations, policy and online analysis of the club showed how they created an equitable and inclusive community sports club underpinned by a Do-It-Yourself ethos. Club founders queered hegemonic norms and traditions associated …
Psychometric properties of the Italian Tendency to Avoid Physical Activity and Sport Scale relationship to weight stigma and body esteem
Physical inactivity is a growing problem that contributes to a range of negative health consequences, such as psychological and physical issues and weight gain. Recent evidence suggests that the tendency to avoid physical activity is associated with weight stigma and low (body-related) self-esteem. New cross-culturally validated psychometric scales for assessing nonparticipation in physical activity could help researchers and practitioners better…
Chinese version of the Tendency to Avoid Physical Activity and Sport (Tapas) scale
The Chinese version of the TAPAS is a valid and reliable instrument assessing individuals' avoidance of physical activity and sports due to underlying psychosocial issues among Taiwanese youths. It is anticipated to be applied within a large Asian population, as well as cross-cultural comparisons, for further explorations in health, behavioral and epidemiological research and practice
The Short Warwick-Edinburgh Mental Well-being Scale (SWEMWBS)
The present study examined the psychometric properties of the Short Warwick-Edinburgh Mental Well-being Scale (SWEMWBS). A total of 742 Italian participants (84.6% female), with a mean age of 33.08 years (SD = 12.44) took part in a cross-sectional survey study. Confirmatory factor analysis and Rasch analysis were used to examine the psychometric properties. The CFA showed that the SWEMWBS had a unidimensional structure with robust psychometric pr…
The Tendency to Avoid Physical Activity and Sport Scale (Tapas)
The study showed that overall, the TAPAS has robust psychometric properties. However, future research needs to address the misfit item and explore the feasibility of applying the TAPAS to other populations including wider ethnic groups, age ranges, and life stages
The Relationship Between Weight Stigmatization, Avoidance, Enjoyment and Participation in Physical Activity and Sport, and Psychological Distress
Objectives: The psychosocial factors affecting physical activity (PA) and sport participation are not well understood but need to be to gain the psychological benefits of PA and sport. In this study, we sought to establish the relationship between weight stigmatization, the tendency to avoid, or participate in and/or enjoy PA and sport, and psychological distress. Methods: We collected demographic details and measures of the constructs of interes…
Spatial justice in the development of a women’s football team in Melbourne, Australia; an ethnographic study
The barriers and challenges to women’s participation in sport have been well established, however there is a paucity of research examining the development of a women’s football team from an ethnographic methodology. In this case study, the primary researcher was embedded as an insider researcher within a football club, conducting 160 hours of observations, field notes, informal discussions, and three semi-structed interviews capturing the develop…
Examining Pride Cups as a health promotion resource to address homophobia in Australian men’s sport
Effective interventions are needed to stop homophobic behaviours in sport settings as these behaviours are associated with negative health and social outcomes for individuals who identify as Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgender, Queer or other diverse genders and sexualities. This paper reports the results of a quasi-experimental study commissioned by a public health agency to explore the benefits of a novel intervention that has been widely adopt…
Weight Stigma and Avoidance of Physical Activity and Sport
Participation in sport and physical activity (PA) is declining, and the psychosocial factors underpinning avoidance of these activities are not understood. This study developed and tested a new measure assessing the tendency to avoid PA and sport because of weight stigma and appearance-related concerns. University students (n = 581, mean age = 19.8 years) completed an online survey at two time points. Demographic details and measures of weight st…
Girls and Young Women in Community Sport
Girls' and young women's engagement and disengagement in physical activity has been well documented in Western culture. Sport plays a pivotal role in the development of behaviours that promote physical activity, particularly through commitment to team and individual goal attainment, socialisation, and feelings of belonging and self-identity. Community sport in Australia is the dominant pathway into state, national, and elite international competi…
The Relationship between Weight Stigma, Physical Appearance Concerns, and Enjoyment and Tendency to Avoid Physical Activity and Sport
Participation in physical activity and sport is on the decline and there is a poor understanding of the psychosocial factors that contribute to people's reluctance to participate. We examined whether there were relationships between factors such as weight stigma, weight bias internalization, appearance evaluation, and fears of negative appearance evaluations, and enjoyment and avoidance of physical activity and sport. Undergraduate students ( N =…
Parents, girls’ and Australian football
Increasing girls’ participation in organised sport in Australia represents an elusive challenge for most sporting codes. Girls encounter a range of barriers and obstacles that serve to discourage initial and ongoing participation in youth sport. One setting that has flourished is Australian football, coinciding with the establishment of a professional competition known as Australian Football League Women (AFLW) in 2017. This is somewhat ironic gi…
More opportunities, same challenges
In Australian culture, males dominate sports such as football, cricket and Australian Rules Football. Girls and women in such sports are frequently required to negotiate persistent gender constructs and stereotypes. Despite this, in recent years there has been an increase in girls’ participation in sports that are constructed as masculine. The present study investigated adolescent girls’ experiences (N = 34, aged 13–17 years) in three sports that…
State of leisure studies in Australia and New Zealand
A recurring theme has emerged from past ANZALS (Australia and New Zealand Association for Leisure Studies) Conferences' keynote presentations concerning the status of leisure studies from a teaching and research perspective. While this broad discussion has been raised, little is formally known about the current status of leisure studies in Australian and New Zealand universities. The ANZALS Board initiated a project in 2015 to gain insights into …
