Parental constructions of adolescent sexting and gender
Sexting is the interpersonal exchange of self-produced, sexually suggestive photographs, videos, or messages via technological means. Our study explores parental constructions of adolescent sexting and gender. Using critical discursive psychology, we analyse 15 dyadic interviews with UK-based parents/carers of adolescents ( N = 30). Two interpretative repertoires were evident across the data set. The first, “sexting consequences that demand ‘real…
Quality Criteria
The purpose of this paper is to offer a comprehensive guide for novice researchers (mostly applicable to PhD students and those new to qualitative research), teachers, and reviewers of qualitative psychology research methods. This paper delineates the main quality criteria across qualitative methods: providing a holistic framework that covers fundamental principles as well as nuanced, context-specific guidelines relevant to a chosen qualitative a…
Teachers' Discursive Constructions of Adolescent Sexting, Consent and Gender
Sexting is the exchange of sexually suggestive content through technological means. Despite being tasked with addressing such incidents in schools, teachers are underrepresented in sexting research. The present study explores teachers' discursive constructions of sexting, consent and gender using Critical Discursive Psychology, analysing 30 interviews with educators and safeguarding staff. The first key finding uncovers the interpretative reperto…
Struggling to manage
Hoarding behaviours can cause numerous problems including health risks, family conflict, and removal of children and pets from the home. Hoarding research typically adopts a cognitive‐behavioural framework and uses quantitative methods; we aimed to further understand the development of hoarding behaviour from a qualitative perspective. Constructivist grounded theory methods were employed across two phases of data collection via semi‐structured in…
Food assessment
Objective: Obesity rates are increasing faster in men than in women, with particular concerns raised regarding older men. However, men are less likely than women to engage in weight-loss activities such as dieting, typically constructed as a feminine practice. Previous research has argued that men’s food consumption is notably different and unhealthier than women’s. The novel contribution of this article is an analysis of food assessments in orde…
Joint allies
In this paper we use a case study, the co-production of a prostate cancer app with, and for, Black British African-Caribbean communities, to discuss benefits and tensions of inclusive practice and allyship. We view our collaborators as joint partners, and joint allies, for the Black British African-Caribbean community. Here, we document the research process and highlight successful aspects of our collaboration such as mentoring, recruitment, idea…
Body dissatisfaction, appearance investment, and wellbeing
Most research on male body image to date has focused on young men using quantitative methods. The study reported here is based on qualitative interviews with a sample of older obese men (n = 30) on a weight management programme, and we asked them about body-related feelings. The interviews were all transcribed and analysed using thematic analysis. Our results indicate that although body weight was typically minimised, body image was a key concern…
Stumbling into Sexual Crime
Motivate’
The purpose of this study was to examine whether an innovative, inclusive and integrated 12-week exercise, behaviour change and nutrition advice-based weight management programme could significantly improve the cardiovascular risk factors of overweight and obese men and women over the age of 35. One hundred and ninety-four men and 98 women (mean age = 52.28 ± 9.74 and 51.19 ± 9.04) attending a community-based intervention delivered by Notts Count…
On-line constructions of metrosexuality and masculinities
The relatively recent growth of identity categories for men participating in non-conventional masculine activities can be linked to contemporary consumption and lifestyle opportunities (Gill et al., 2005). While there have been various studies pertaining to media representations of ‘metrosexuality’, ‘new’ masculinities, and the marketing of health and beauty products to men, we currently know little about how men define, ascribe to and disavow co…
I'm Metro, NOT Gay!”
The last two decades have seen a marked increase in men's self-presentation practices and the creation of a new identity category: “metrosexual” (Simpson, 1994, 2002). Here we examine men's makeup use, considered one of the more extreme indicators of “metrosexuality” (Harrison, 2008). We deploy a discursive analytic approach informed in particular by membership categorisation analysis (Sacks, 1972a, 1972b, 1992) to examine male makeup users' resp…
Monitoring and normalising a lack of appetite and weight loss. A discursive analysis of an online support group for bariatric surgery
Mapping the components of the telephone conference
This article maps the components of telephone tutorial conferences (TTCs) used for distance learning in higher education. Using conversation analysis we identified four common sequences of TTCs as `calling in'; `agenda-setting'; `tutorial proper'; and `closing down'. Patterns of student participation look similar to those in face-to-face tutorials and the degree of interaction during `calling-in' and agenda setting does not foretell student parti…
Blokes Don't Like That Sort of Thing
Research has demonstrated that gender is a barrier to men's participation in self-help groups. In this article I analyse how four men and seven women negotiate their identities as members of cancer self-help groups. Their accounts were transcribed and analysed using a synthetic approach to discursive psychology. Women's accounts were organized around the notion of receiving help whereas men appeared to resist this type of identity. I explore how …
‘What he hasn’t told you…’
Research has demonstrated that heterosexual men receive enhanced health benefits from their relationships with women. Explanations for this gendered pattern often focus on women’s role as the main caregivers and arrangers of health care. However, what remains unclear is how these benefits are mediated. In this article, we describe the micropolitics evident in negotiations between 12 heterosexual couples as they discuss the serious illness of one …
My Wife Ordered Me to Come
This study used a discursive approach to analysing doctors' and nurses' accounts of men's health in the context of general practice. The analysis worked intensively with interview material from a small sample of general practitioners and their nursing colleagues. We examine the contradictory discursive framework through which this sample made sense of their male patients. The 'interpretative repertoires' through which doctors and nurses construct…
