An Explorative Study of Perpetrator Trauma Symptoms in South African Incarcerated Youth
The formulation and application of perpetration-based traumatic experiences (perpetrator trauma) remain contentious. The notion that individuals who commit violent offenses may experience their own offenses as traumatic is often dismissed as implausible, based on assumptions that such individuals are violent, callous, and incapable of experiencing any shame, guilt, or intrusive symptoms related to their violent acts. However, empirical evidence i…
Emotional Intelligence, Adjustment, Media and Technology Usage, and Gender as Predictors of Psychological Well-being Amongst Undergraduate University Students
South African undergraduate university students face many unique challenges that put them at risk of developing mental health concerns such as depression, anxiety, stress, suicidal ideation, and posttraumatic stress disorder.

Self-esteem, Interpersonal Communication Competence, and Media and Technology Usage as Predictors of Loneliness Among University Students

The overarching aims of this study were to identify the predictor variable(s) o…

The unique contextual attributes of the correctional environment and the frustrations, deprivations and challenges associated with it impact adjustment to incarceration. Offenders who cannot adjust to the correctional environment may experience behavioural and psychological challenges, including institutional misconduct, violence, aggression, withdrawal, anger, hostility, anxiety and depression. It is imperative to identify which variables are po…

Most participants revealed reasons of a highly personal nature for getting tattoos, and the majority of the pa…
