Employment, Volunteering, Social Support, and Meaning in Life in Older Adulthood
Meaning in life (MIL) is associated with enhanced well-being but little is known about sources of MIL for older adults. As an increasing proportion of older adults are engaged in employment and volunteer roles, this study aimed to examine the associations between MIL, employment, and volunteering among older adults still working and transitioning to retirement. Additionally, the study sought to examine what it is about these roles that may facili…
Psychology educators’ perspectives on partnering with people with lived experience in psychology training
Policy requires that mental health consumers be involved in all aspects of mental health service and delivery, including training. The extent to which consumer involvement has been part of psychology training varies across and within programmes but has generally been limited. The overarching aim of the present study was to extend understandings of psychology educators’ willingness and attitudes to partnering with consumers to deliver psychology t…

Performing smart sexual selves: A sexual scripting analysis of youth talk about internet pornography
In this article, we explore young New Zealanders’ use of sexual scripts in talk about Internet pornography (IP) to perform ‘smart’ sexual selves. Using sexual scripting theory, as developed by feminist discursive psychologists, our analysis of interview data generated with 10 youth (aged 16–18 years) highlights two commonly constructed sexual identities across youth talk; (i) the proficient Internet pornography user , and (ii) the astute Internet…
What does it mean to be ‘porn literate’: Perspectives of young people, parents and teachers in Aotearoa New Zealand
Porn literacy education is a pedagogical strategy responding to youth engagement with pornography through digital media. The approach is intended to increase young people's knowledge and awareness regarding the portrayal of sexuality in Internet pornography. However, what being 'porn literate' entails, and what a porn literacy education curricula should therefore include, is not a settled matter. Recognising the importance of end-user perspective…

Nexus between constructs of social cognitive theory model and diabetes self-management among Ghanaian diabetic patients: A mediation modelling approach
The promotion of Diabetes Self-Management (DSM) practices, education, and support is vital to improving the care and wellbeing of diabetic patients. Identifying factors that affect DSM behaviours may be useful to promote healthy living among these patients. The study assessed the determinants of DSM practices among Type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) patients using a model-based social cognitive theory (SCT). This cross-sectional study comprised 420 …
Order and disorder: Navigating narrative tensions in the experience of treatment resistant depression
How do youth, parents, and educators use discursive sexual scripts to make sense of youth engagement with internet pornography
In this article, we explore how culturally available sexual scripts are drawn on to make meaning of young people’s engagement with internet pornography (IP). We draw on a version of sexual scripting theory developed by feminist discursive scholars to perform a critical thematic analysis of 24 interviews with parents, educators, and young people. We identify three main scripts commonly drawn on by participants to make sense of youth engagement wit…
Modeling the impacts of park access on health outcomes: A utility-based accessibility approach
Recent research has underscored the potential for public green spaces to influence individual and societal health outcomes, but empirical measurements of such influences have yielded mixed results to date, with particular disagreement surrounding how access to parks ought to be defined while controlling for alternate explanations. In this paper, we apply a comprehensive measure of park accessibility drawn from random utility choice theory, which …
Facebook Intrusion as a Mediator Between Positive Capital and General Distress: A Cross-Cultural Study
Background: Social networking sites (SNSs) play an important role in many aspects of life nowadays, and it seems to be crucial to explore their impact on human well-being and functioning. The main aim of the study was to examine the mediating role of Facebook intrusion between positive capital and general distress. Positive capital was considered as comprising self-esteem, ego-resiliency, and self-control, while general distress was seen as havin…

Youth Encounters with Internet Pornography: A Survey of Youth, Caregiver, and Educator Perspectives
Despite international inquiry regarding young people’s encounters with Internet pornography (IP), there is a lack of knowledge about how their caregivers (parents or guardians) and educators perceive these encounters in comparison to young people. Such knowledge is critical to understanding the synergies and discrepancies that might exist between these key stakeholder groups (youth, caregivers and educators) and across genders, to subsequently in…
Polish Adaptation of the Driving and Riding Avoidance Scale
Driving anxiety is a relatively undervalued topic of research, despite the fact that it can have a substantial detrimental impact on an individuals’ life. The prevalence of driving anxiety in motor vehicle crash (MVC) survivors has been found to range from 18-77%. Although driving anxiety can develop without crash involvement, no information currently exists on the prevalence of driving anxiety in the general population. One barrier to gathering …
Development of a Short Form of the Test Anxiety Inventory (TAI)
The Test Anxiety Inventory (TAI) is widely used in research and practical settings and has particular application to the assessment and treatment of test anxiety in student populations. However, there are a number of instances in which a short version of the TAI would be more appropriate, especially when time constraints preclude the use of the full form. Similar short forms have been developed for other measures such as the State scale of the St…

Somethin' on My Mind: A Cultural and Historical Interpretation of Spiritual Texts
The originators of the Negro spirituals probably would be quite surprised to find their songs catalogued and preserved in libraries today. Yet inquiry into the background and meaning of this literature shows them to be extraordinary socio-cultural impressions of real occurrences, as well as contemporary historical documents of the events and attitudes that they reflect. Before coming to the shores of the New World, the West Africans had expressed…
