Healthy young adult relationships (Hyar)
The onus for educating and supporting young people in navigating romantic relationships often falls on professional youth work organizations; yet, evidence relating to healthy young adult relationship (HYAR) education programmes delivered within these settings remains limited. The present study sought to capture youth work professionals' views as part of a research programme focused on developing HYAR education resources for young people. Eleven …
The Impact of Shame, Humiliation and Pride on Revenge Desire and Behavior in Victims of Crime
108). Participants were betrayed in a prisoner's dilemma game and randomly assigned to a shame/humiliation, pride, or control condition. They then reported revenge desire and could administer noise-blasts as revenge. Humiliation significantly predicted both revenge desire and acts; shame approached significance for revenge desire, and pride was unrelated. These findings suggest that negative self-conscious emotions, particularly humiliation, can …
Understanding Dynamics
There remains a paucity of European research on attitudes and responses to domestic abuse from frontline workers and professionals who regularly encounter domestic abuse or engage with domestic abuse legislation. This systematic review synthesized qualitative, quantitative, and mixed-method peer-reviewed studies that explored professionals’ knowledge, attitudes, and competencies related to domestic abuse. The professionals included medical staff …
Psychological Predictors of Recidivism for Intimate Partner Violence Perpetrators
Theoretical accounts of recidivistic intimate partner violence (IPV) continue to differ considerably in relation to the relative weight given to psychological risk factors. A systematic overview of studies that have established psychological predictors of reoffending is currently lacking. This study aimed to identify and provide an overview of studies examining various psychological factors associated with IPV perpetration patterns. A systematic …
Chemsex-Related Risk Among Men Who Have Sex With Men
The present research includes two studies mapping psychological vulnerability to chemsex and related risks over 12 months. Chemsex refers to the intentional use of psychoactive substances in sexual contexts among men who self-identify as men who have sex with men. Study 1 (N = 503) used latent profile analysis to map individual differences in personality traits, identity resilience, and homonegativity associated with chemsex and mental and sexual…
Investigating risk factors of dissociative and complex posttraumatic stress disorder across diagnostic systems and potential implications
Both D-PTSD and CPTSD appear to be highly prevalent among Northern Irish veterans, and interestingly, similar effect sizes were found for the investigated risk factors for highly symptomatic groups across diagnostic systems. Research is needed to determine the generalizability of the results. (PsycInfo Database Record (c) 2025 APA, all rights reserved)
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…
Trauma and identity predictors of ICD-11 PTSD and complex PTSD in a trauma-exposed Colombian sample
Background: The 11th International Classification of Diseases introduces the diagnosis of Complex PTSD (CPTSD); characterized by traditional PTSD symptomology plus Disturbances in Self Organisation. Part of this construct involves feeling socially disconnected from others, suggesting that aspects of group and individual identity may be associated with this disorder. Aims: The current study seeks to contribute to better understanding the associati…
EHealth for Sexual Assault
Providing efficient psychosocial support for survivors of sexual assault is of critical societal importance. Around the globe, technology-based solutions (eHealth) are increasingly being used to accomplish this task, especially following COVID-19. Despite increased importance and reliance on eHealth for sexual assault, minimal efforts have been made to systematically synthesize research in this area. The present study therefore sought to synthesi…
Defining and Measuring Sexual Consent within the Context of University Students’ Unwanted and Nonconsensual Sexual Experiences
Lack of sexual consent forms the foundation of unwanted (and nonconsensual) sexual experiences (USEs), yet research suggests it is not well understood amongst university students. While the prevalence of USEs has been well documented within the university context, less is known about how sexual consent is defined or measured. This review aims to identify a consistent sexual consent definition and how current research examining USEs defines and me…
Prolonged grief disorder symptomology in three African countries
The identified PGD network highlights particular indicators and associations across three African samples. Implications for the assessment and treatment of PGD in these cultural contexts warrant consideration
Flexible emotional regulation typology
Difficulties in ER ability and flexibility could be improved with targeted learning in a therapeutic or home setting, potentially increasing trait resilience after trauma exposure and reducing PTSD distress
The relationship between co-occurring traumatic experiences and co-occurring mental health domains for veterans resident in Northern Ireland
NI veterans could be labelled as 'traumatised' due to high levels of combat/conflict exposure, yet the two combat classes seemed unrelated to membership of poorer mental health classes. UDR membership indicated that living in one's theatre of war could have mental health implications. It was concerning that 45% experienced some co-occurring mental health symptoms with 19% experiencing the poorest symptoms. Hazardous alcohol use appeared unrelated…
Lifetime trauma, mental well-being, alcohol and help-seeking; the phenomenological experience of veterans residing in Northern Ireland
Several experiential statements aligned with existing literature, including having poor mental health literacy and problem recognition, and heavily utilising social support versus formal help-seeking. Some novel findings included bouncing between extreme positive and negative environments which could be as detrimental to mental health as experiencing conflict trauma. Heavy alcohol use was just another rule soldiers followed. Positive help-seeking…
Prevalence and concordance of International Classification of Diseases-11th Revision and Diagnostic and Statistical Manual-Fifth Edition posttraumatic stress diagnostics among Northern Irish military …
These findings have implications regarding the measurement of PTSD and associated diagnostic groupings for the wider literature, suggesting that the choice of diagnostic screening framework may influence classification. Both C-PTSD and D-PTSD may be relevant diagnostic considerations for the NI military veteran group. (PsycInfo Database Record (c) 2025 APA, all rights reserved)
Identifying Service-Related Predictors of Community Reintegration Difficulties in Northern Irish Military Veterans
Military-to-civilian community reintegration in Northern Irish (NI) veterans has not been previously examined. The existing reintegration studies indicate that post-military service life can be challenging for many veterans. The current exploratory study aimed to identify service-related predictors of community reintegration difficulties in a sample of 749 NI veterans. Data were collected through a cross-sectional self-report survey of UK Armed F…
What can we learn about mental health from 10,933 patient lived experiences using a novel quantitative-qualitative network analysis
Objective: The study aims to build a comprehensive network structure of psychopathology based on patient narratives by combining the merits of both qualitative and quantitative research methodologies. Research methods: The study web-scraped data from 10,933 people who disclosed a prior DSM/ICD11 diagnosed mental illness when discussing their lived experiences of mental ill health. The study then used Python 3 and its associated libraries to run n…
A Qualitative Systematic Review of Enablers and Barriers to HelpSeeking for Veterans that have Completely Left the Military Within the Context of Mental Health and Alcohol
The variation in the definition of a veteran, and the preference for quantitative methods, has created mixed findings regarding the process of veteran help-seeking (HS) for mental health/alcohol issues. To understand HS enablers/barriers for those having ceased military employment, a systematic review of qualitative HS literature is warranted. Six databases were searched. Data were analysed thematically. From 1,154 titles/abstracts screened, six …
A tri‐directional examination of adolescent personality, perceived parenting, and economic and parental adversity contexts in influencing adolescent behavioral outcomes
INTRODUCTION: Adolescent personality is consistently linked to behavioral strengths and difficulties. However, most of this work is limited in that it does not consider personality beyond the Big Five or economic or parental adversity contexts. The Tri-Directional Framework of Parent and Offspring Traits and Outcomes highlights the collective influence of personality, parenting, and context on offspring behavioral outcomes. METHODS: Parent and ad…
Empirically Derived Patterns of Posttraumatic Stress and Growth
The relationship between posttraumatic stress (PTS) and posttraumatic growth (PTG) has been extensively studied; however, the nature of the relationship remains unclear. Inconsistencies in the literature could be, in part, due to the use of variable level approaches. Person centered methods may further our understanding of this relationship, as they enable the identification of clinically meaningful subgroups based on PTS/PTG scores. This review …
Lay concepts of trauma in the United Kingdom
This original evidence regarding the content and predictors of lay conceptions of trauma is relevant for sensitive delivery of clinical interventions, tailoring of other supports for populations experiencing adversity, and anticipating social responses to victims of specific adversities.

Young People’s Understanding of Coercive Control in Northern Ireland
Coercive control and related research have progressed significantly in the past number of years, with an ever-growing evidence base adding to its construct. However, currently there is a lack of evidence on young people's knowledge and understanding of coercive control. We included a module of questions in the 2020 Northern Ireland Young Life and Life and Times survey ( n = 2,069) with the aim of capturing baseline measurable data on understandin…
Rates and correlates of psychological distress and PTSD among persons with physical disabilities in Cambodia
Integration of mental health services within the disability sector is required to address psychological distress and PTSD symptoms among people with physical disabilities in Cambodia. Health system interventions, such as screening, referral, and the training of health providers, need to be strengthened. Further studies focussing on the psychosocial determinants of mental health of persons with disabilities in Cambodia are required
Readiness to Change and Deception as Predictors of Program Completion in Perpetrators of Intimate Partner Violence
Investigating the DSM–5 and the ICD-11 PTSD symptoms using network analysis across two distinct samples
The results underline that a combination of five symptoms representing both diagnostic systems may hold central positions and potentially be important for treatment. However, the implications depend on if the different diagnostic descriptions can be reconciled in an indexical rather than constitutive perspective. (PsycInfo Database Record (c) 2023 APA, all rights reserved)
Public Understanding of Coercive Control in Northern Ireland
Coercive control is characterised by negative behaviours which intimidate, threaten, and humiliate a person or restrict a person's liberty. In addition to being a known risk factor for experiencing other forms of violence, research has linked coercive control to symptoms of psychological distress and suicidality. In the UK, coercive and controlling behaviours within intimate and familial relationships have been legislated as offending behaviours.…
Exploring the Existence of Distinct Subclasses of Intimate Partner Violence Experience and Associations with Mental Health
Intimate Partner Violence (IPV) is a worldwide societal concern. Adversities such as IPV are known to impinge upon mental health and socio-economic development. However, much of the existing literature addresses single or dual constructs of IPV abuse rather than capturing the more common polyvictimisation experience and how they impact on mental health. Using a Northern Irish university student sample ( n = 753), latent class analysis was employe…

Personality Trait Level and Change as Predictors of Health Outcomes
OBJECTIVES: Personality traits predict numerous health outcomes, but previous studies have rarely used personality change to predict health. METHODS: The current investigation utilized a large national sample of 3,990 participants from the Midlife in the U.S. study (MIDUS) to examine if both personality trait level and personality change longitudinally predict 3 different health outcomes (i.e., self-rated physical health, self-reported blood pres…
Promoting positive attitudes to breastfeeding
The objective of this study was to design, implement and evaluate an intervention based on the theory of planned behaviour (TPB) to enhance young peoples' motivations to breastfeed/support a partner to breastfeed. Six semi-structured focus groups were first conducted with 48 13-14-year-olds from two schools in Northern Ireland. The salient beliefs elicited were subsequently used to design a TPB-based questionnaire that was then administered to 20…
Adult experience of mental health outcomes as a result of intimate partner violence victimisation
Consumer perspectives about weight management services in a community pharmacy setting in NSW, Australia
Background Obesity is a public health challenge faced worldwide. Community pharmacists may be well placed to manage Australia’s obesity problem owing to their training, accessibility and trustworthiness. However, determining consumers’ needs is vital to the development of any new services or the evaluation of existing services. Objective To explore Australian consumers’ perspectives regarding weight management services in the community pharmacy s…
The mediating role of anger in the relationship between PTSD symptoms and impulsivity
Research indicates a significant relationship between posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) and anger (Olatunji, Ciesielski, & Tolin, 2010; Orth & Wieland, 2006). Individuals may seek urgent coping to deal with the distress of anger, which is a mobilizing and action-oriented emotion (Novaco & Chemtob, 2002); possibly in the form of impulsive actions consistent with impulsivity's association with anger (Milligan & Waller, 2001; Whiteside & Lynam, 2…
Patient asthma networks
BACKGROUND: Multidisciplinary care (MDC) has been proposed as an essential component to the delivery of effective and efficient health care. However, patients have shown to establish their own sources of health advice and support outside the professional domain. It remained unclear as to how patients' choices may impact on MDC. OBJECTIVE: This study aimed to explore the role of patients in MDC, specifically (i) how and why patients select sources…
An investigation of PTSD's core dimensions and relations with anxiety and depression
The underlying factors of PTSD contain aspects of the core dimensions of both anxiety and depression. The heterogeneity of PTSD's associations with anxiety and depressive constructs requires additional empirical exploration because clarification regarding these relationships will impact diagnostic classification as well as clinical practice
People with insomnia
BACKGROUND: Sedative hypnotics form an important part of managing insomnia and are recommended for short-term use. It is standard practice for clinicians to inform the patient to use medications only 'when required', but the use of these medications is often chronic. Little is known about the impact of standard labelling/instructions on promoting appropriate medication use for managing insomnia. OBJECTIVE: To explore patient medication-taking bel…
Impulsivity facets’ predictive relations with DSM–5 PTSD symptom clusters
Results extend theoretical and empirical research on the impulsivity-PTSD relationship, suggesting that impulsivity facets may serve as both risk and protective factors for PTSD symptoms. (PsycINFO Database Record
Validation of the factor structure of the adolescent dissociativeexperiences scale in a sample of trauma-exposed detained youth
These results provide support for the multidimensionality of the construct of posttraumatic dissociation and contribute to the understanding of the dissociative subtype of PTSD among adolescents. (PsycINFO Database Record
Dissociative features in posttraumatic stress disorder
The study points to the importance of alternative symptoms of dissociation in the dissociative PTSD subtype beyond the symptoms of depersonalization and derealization. (PsycINFO Database Record
Supplemental Material for Dissociative Features in Posttraumatic Stress Disorder
Objective: The fifth edition of the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (DSM-5) characterizes the dissociative subtype of posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) in terms of the individual meeting the criteria for PTSD and additionally reporting symptoms of depersonalization and/or derealisation. The current study aimed to examine whether a dissociative PTSD profile may include alternative features of dissociation and whether it co…
Distress tolerance and mindfulness mediate relations between depression and anxiety sensitivity with problematic smartphone use
Replicability and Generalizability of Posttraumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) Networks
The growing literature conceptualizing mental disorders like posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) as networks of interacting symptoms faces three key challenges. Prior studies predominantly used (a) small samples with low power for precise estimation, (b) nonclinical samples, and (c) single samples. This renders network structures in clinical data, and the extent to which networks replicate across data sets, unknown. To overcome these limitations…
Loneliness in the UK during the Covid-19 pandemic
OBJECTIVES: Loneliness is a significant public health issue. The COVID-19 pandemic has resulted in lockdown measures limiting social contact. The UK public are worried about the impact of these measures on mental health outcomes. Understanding the prevalence and predictors of loneliness at this time is a priority issue for research. METHOD: The study employed a cross-sectional online survey design. Baseline data collected between March 23rd and A…
How Army Veterans Cope with Chronic Pain
Many veterans suffer chronic pain, which may be exacerbated by military shaped attitudes to health. There is a paucity of research that explores veterans’ experiences of developing coping strategies to manage chronic pain. This study employed a qualitative, Grounded Theory (GT) approach with seven participants. The participant involvement was via in-depth semi-structured interviews (male-6, female-1, mean age-46.0yrs, mean service-17.71yrs, mean …

The effectiveness of interventions to prevent recidivism in perpetrators of intimate partner violence
A pilot study examining roles of cognitions and affect between positive memory processing and posttraumatic stress disorder symptom severity
Objective: Posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) symptoms may impact cognitive processes underlying encoding and retrieval of positive memories. Contractor and colleagues thus proposed a Positive Memory-PTSD model outlining hypothesized pathways (e.g., improved cognitions and affect) linking active processing of positive memories and PTSD symptoms. In the current study, we empirically explored direct and indirect pathways of the Positive Memory-PT…
