Are international students relatively resilient? Comparing international and domestic students’ levels of self-compassion, mental health and wellbeing
Because international students encounter unique stressors in addition to those experienced by all higher education students they are often assumed to be at heightened risk for experiencing mental health difficulties. However, empirical studies have consistently found that international students report comparable or lower rates of depression and anxiety than their domestic counterparts. The present study investigates one possible explanation for t…
How can universities better support the mental wellbeing of higher degree research students? A study of students’ suggestions
Prevalence studies indicate that higher degree research (Master's and Doctoral) students experience high rates of psychological distress. As a result, universities are seeking evidence-based interventions to better support the mental wellbeing of this student cohort. The present study contributes to that evidence base by asking higher degree research students (HDRs) from a large Australian research-intensive university what they think should be d…
What makes PhD researchers think seriously about discontinuing? an exploration of risk factors and risk profiles
Although high PhD attrition rates are a matter of international concern, the factors that lead doctoral researchers to leave their programmes are not well understood. The present study addresses that issue by exploring factors that prompted thoughts of discontinuing among 1017 PhD researchers (PhDRs) at a public, research-intensive Australian university. We analyse the prevalence, strength and clustering of the most frequently identified factors,…
Exploring course experiences that predict psychological distress and mental wellbeing in Australian undergraduate and graduate coursework students
University students are known to be at heightened risk among their peers for experiencing psychological distress and mental health difficulties. To date, there have been few interventions designed to reduce stressors in the educational environment. This may be due to limited research investigating course-related correlates of students’ distress. The present study addresses that gap by identifying and exploring the extent to which six common eleme…
How universities can enhance student mental wellbeing
The growing prevalence and severity of mental health difficulties across university student populations is a critical issue for universities and their wider communities. Yet little is known about student perspectives on the stressors in university environments and the steps that universities could take to better support student mental wellbeing. This article reports on a study that collected and analyzed 2776 student responses to the question: Wh…
I Think it’s Rape and I Think He Would be Found Not Guilty’
A legal definition of rape that exonerates an accused who ‘reasonably believes in consent’ is currently in force in a number of jurisdictions in the United Kingdom, Australia and New Zealand. Limited empirical research has investigated community and professional perceptions of the adequacy and scope of this definition of rape. The present study contributes to qualitative research on ‘reasonable belief in consent’ by analysing key themes from 11 f…
Prevalence and socio-demographic correlates of psychological distress among students at an Australian university
This research contributes to the empirical literature on university student mental well-being by investigating the prevalence and socio-demographic correlates of severe levels of psychological distress. More than 5000 students at a metropolitan Australian university participated in an anonymous online survey in 2013 that included the short form of the Depression, Anxiety and Stress Scales (DASS-21). Comparisons with published research show that o…
Sex Offender Risk Assessment
Jurisdictions in the United States, United Kingdom, and Australia now have laws that enable preventive detention of post-sentence sex offenders based on an assessment of the offender's likely recidivism. Measures of recidivism, or risk assessments, rely on the criminal justice process to produce the "pool" of sex offenders studied. This article argues that recidivism research needs to be placed in the context of attrition studies that document th…
Falling Rape Conviction Rates
Sex With Children 'A Foolish Lapse
How did a County Court judge sentencing an offender for sexual penetration with a child under 16 come to describe the offending as ‘a foolish lapse’? Does it mean that the courts do not take sex offences seriously or that judges are out of step with community attitudes? No. This article traces the history of the use of ‘foolish lapse’ in Victorian sentencing decisions and the consequent obligation on the judge in question to consider whether the …
