Identifying predictors of long-term treatment outcomes using narratives from written exposure therapy and cognitive processing therapy for PTSD
Even without direct cognitive change techniques, adaptive processing of traumatic experiences occurred in WET and predicted PTSD long-term symptom improvement. Both emotional engagement and cognitive change might help to sustain treatment gains in CPT. (PsycInfo Database Record (c) 2025 APA, all rights reserved)
How socioeconomic and structural barriers influence dental care among transgender people
To date, no research, aside from the present study, has assessed connections between transgender identity and oral healthcare access. The results of this analysis are consistent with other healthcare disparities that transgender people experience in that a smaller proportion of transgender respondents saw a dentist in the last year compared to cisgender respondents. Implications for establishing a foundation in future research to explore oral hea…
Acting like a bot as a defiance of platform power
This article examines YouTubers’ ‘bot like’ behaviour on Twitter and conceptualises it as a defiance of platform power in delimiting the boundaries of ‘authenticity’. This entrepreneurial capture of ‘botness’ is understudied and deserves attention. We focus on a platform with a clear monetisation scheme, YouTube, and on patterns of ‘inauthentic’ behaviour in how people shared YouTube videos on Twitter during the early stages of the COVID-19 pande…
Dis/Embodying Fieldwork in Japan
When flights reopened in 2020 between Kazakhstan, where I was based, and Japan, where I do my research, my first thought was, ‘Can I still fit in some fieldwork this summer?’ Fieldwork relies on an epistemology of co-presence: the things one can only learn by occupying the same physical space with others, observing their everyday lives, and conversing in the local vernacular, in a century-old tradition going back to Malinowski. Consequently, rest…
The Role of Dating Site Design in Gendered Self-Representation and Self-Animation in Online Japan
In this paper, I discuss self presentation in online dating, specifically, online dating in Japan. I give particular attention to the question of how the design affordances of particular online dating apps help to partially structure how users construct their own profiles. Profile construction depends in part on what sort of fields have been provided for the user to fill in, as well as on which are mandatory, and which are optional. To some exten…
Identity development in cultural context
OBJECTIVE: The great majority of research on identity and personality development has focused on individual processes of development, to the relative neglect of the cultural context of development. We employ a recently articulated framework for the examination of identity development in context, centered on the construct of master narratives, or culturally shared stories. METHOD: Across four studies, we asked emerging and midlife adults (N = 512)…
Do we look happy? Perceptions of romantic relationship quality on Facebook
Does the information that people share about their romantic relationships on Facebook influence how other people perceive their relationship quality? Across 2 studies, people's accuracy at inferring others' relationship quality based on their Facebook profiles and how Facebook profiles influenced others' judgments of people's relationship quality and likability were investigated. Perceived relationship quality corresponded to self‐reported relati…
Stoicism or shyness
I examine data from my fieldwork with Japanese professional matchmakers and their attitude towards new, "less masculine" masculinities. Matchmakers' ideologies of conversation show that they understand "good partners" as having personality traits that are not particularly ascribed to any gender. Consequently, they allow for flexibility in gendered behavior, as long as their clients can be brought within the heterosexual institution of marriage. A…
