  • Early and risky adolescent alcohol use independently predict alcohol, tobacco, cannabis and other drug use in early adulthood in Ireland: A longitudinal analysis of a nationally representative cohort

    Open Access•Margaret M Brennan, Deirdre Mongan et al.•ARTICLE•BMC Public Health•2025

    Age at first alcohol and risky adolescent alcohol use independently predict substance use in early adulthood when considered jointly in extensively adjusted models. These findings highlight the continued urgent need for public health interventions that address factors associated with early alcohol use and support adolescents who use alcohol in a high-risk manner given their elevated risk of progression to more serious substance use as adults

  • More than just consumers? Alternative representations of students when higher education becomes ‘free’

    Open Access•Patricio Sanchez-Campos, Elizabeth R Nixon et al.•ARTICLE•Studies in Higher Education•2024

    The introduction of market mechanisms into higher education (HE) systems has profoundly reshaped the sector. One prominent aspect of such reforms has been the conceptualisation of the student as a consumer, ostensibly empowered by choice and seeking value for money from their tuition fees. In this article, we report the findings of an empirical study of student representations when HE becomes ‘free’, after four decades of marketisation. The analy…

  • The Refuge-ED Dialogic Co-Creation Process: Working with and for Refuge-ED children and minors

    Open Access•Teresa Sorde-Marti, Teresa Sordé Martí et al.•ARTICLE•Humanities and Social Sciences…•2023

    A growing body of literature suggests that involving end-users in intervention research, including design, implementation, and evaluation, is associated with numerous positive outcomes. These outcomes include improved intervention efficacy, sustainability, and psychological growth among collaborators. The value of this approach and the recommendation for researchers to embrace co-creation in implementation and policies have also been recognised w…

  • Preterm birth and expressive language development across the first 5 years of life: A nationally-representative longitudinal path analysis

    Open Access•Sarah Coughlan, Jean Quigley et al.•ARTICLE•Early Childhood Research Quarterly•2023•References: 4

    Multiple factors including the child's non-linguistic characteristics and caregiving environment can affect language development. Since preterm birth (<37 weeks’ gestation) can negatively affect language development, this study used path analysis to investigate whether the influence of preterm birth on expressive language development at 3 and 5 years of age is mediated by a child's non-linguistic characteristics (temperament and cognitive, motor,…

  • Father and Toddler Language During Shared Book Reading with Text‐Based and Wordless Picture Books

    Open Access•Mirela Conica, Linda Kelly et al.•ARTICLE•Reading Research Quarterly•2023•References: 70

    While the association between shared book reading (SBR) and child language development is well documented, there has been less focus on how book characteristics may differentially elicit parents' language input and hence differentially relate to children's language skills during this activity. Moreover, despite the positive and unique role that fathers have been shown to play for children's language, the father‐child SBR evidence base is small. A…

  • Academic labour as professional service work? A psychosocial analysis of emotion in lecturer–student relations under marketization

    Open Access•Elizabeth R Nixon, Richard Scullion•ARTICLE•Human Relations•2022•Cited by: 8•References: 77

    The marketization of higher education entails a radical reshaping of the educational relationship as one in which the lecturer is recast as a professional service worker, implicitly or explicitly tasked with ensuring the satisfaction of fee-paying students as sovereign consumers. What does an organizational discourse of high customer satisfaction mean for the emotional experiences of lecturers on the frontline? In this article, we conduct a psych…

  • You Lose Confidence in Being a Human Being, Never Mind Being a Parent: The Lived Experience of Mothers With Spinal Cord Injury

    Open Access•Anne-Marie Casey, Maeve Nolan et al.•ARTICLE•Qualitative Health Research•2022•References: 40

    Little research to date has explored the experiences of parenting among mothers with Spinal Cord Injury (SCI). The aim of the study was to explore the lived experiences of mothers with SCI. Semi-structured interviews were conducted with eight mothers and an interpretive phenomenological analysis was carried out. Two super-ordinate themes were identified. The first theme, entitled: 'A sit-down mummy: The visibility of differences as a mother with …

  • Parent child directed speech in dyadic and triadic interaction: Associations with co-parenting dynamics and child language outcomes

    Open Access•Jean Quigley, Elizabeth Nixon et al.•ARTICLE•Early Childhood Research Quarterly•2021•References: 8

    This observational study compares the child directed speech (CDS) of mothers and fathers to toddlers in the context of dyadic and triadic interaction. Further the influence of observed co-parenting dynamics on parental triadic speech and associations with child language are explored. Seventy-three toddlers (M = 24.1 months, SD=1.37; 37 girls) and their parents were recorded in dyadic and triadic free play in a laboratory setting. All speech from …

  • Infant language predicts fathers’ vocabulary in infant-directed speech

    Open Access•Jean Quigley, Elizabeth Nixon et al.•ARTICLE•Journal of Child Language•2020

    Research on sources of individual difference in parental Infant-Directed Speech (IDS) is limited and there is a particular lack of research on fathers’ compared to mothers’ speech. This study examined the predictive relations between infant characteristics and variability in paternal lexical diversity (LD) in dyadic free play with two-year-olds (M = 24.1 months, SD = 1.39, 35 girls). Ten minutes of interaction for sixty-four father–infant dyads w…

  • The fool, the hero, and the sage: Narratives of Non-Consumption as Role Distance From an Urban Consumer-Self

    Elizabeth Nixon, Elizabeth R Nixon•ARTICLE•Consumption Markets & Culture•2020•Cited by: 3•References: 72

    One fruitful perspective with which to think differently about the consuming subject in affluent capitalist societies can be found in the field of non-consumption. Whilst ‘choices’ not to buy, own and use are often tacit in analyses of social class dynamics, identity expression, and consumer resistance, here we adopt the dramaturgical perspective of Erving Goffman to argue that forms of non-consumption may occur within expressions of role distanc…

  • Exploring the association of infant receptive language and pitch variability in fathers’ infant-directed speech

    Open Access•Jean Quigley, Elizabeth Nixon et al.•ARTICLE•Journal of Child Language•2019

    The objective of this study was to examine the links between prosodic features of paternal Infant-Directed Speech (IDS) and child characteristics. Pitch variability measures were extracted from the speech samples of 50 fathers during unstructured play with their two-year-old children. Evidence for a link between child receptive language ability (measured by the Bayley Scales of Infant Development III) and fathers’ pitch variability was obtained f…

  • Utilising genetically informed research designs to better understand family processes and child development: Implications for adoption and foster care focused interventions

    Open Access•Ruth Sellers, Amelia Smith et al.•ARTICLE•Adoption & Fostering•2019•Cited by: 1•References: 6

    Understanding the interplay between genetic factors and family environmental processes (e.g., inter-parental relationship quality, positive versus negative parenting practices) and children's mental health (e.g., anxiety, depression, conduct problems, ADHD) in the contexts of adoption and foster-care research and practice is critical for effective prevention and intervention programme development. Whilst evidence highlights the importance of fami…

  • The social anatomy of ‘collusion’

    Open Access•Charles Crook, Elizabeth Nixon et al.•ARTICLE•British Educational Research…•2019•References: 27

    This article offers a conceptual analysis of collusion, the often overlooked relative of plagiarism in debates on academic integrity. Considered as an inherently social phenomenon, we present the results of a systematic effort to understand the anatomy of collusion. The term's meanings and associated governance practices are compared for contexts outside higher education. These are considered alongside a thematic analysis of publicly available UK…

  • Associations Between Forced and “Persuaded” First Intercourse and Later Health Outcomes in Women

    Open Access•Simon McCarthy‐Jones, Ailise Bulfin et al.•ARTICLE•Violence Against Women•2018•Cited by: 1•References: 9

    The effects of nonconsensual first experiences of sexual intercourse in women are understudied. This was investigated in 3,875 adult women of whom 6.7% reported "persuaded" first-sex and 0.8% reported forced first-sex. Compared with willing first-sex, both forced and "persuaded" first-sex occurred earlier, involved a greater age difference between partners, and were associated with more lifetime sexual partners and some measures of worse psycholo…

  • Her majesty the student: Marketised Higher Education and the Narcissistic (Dis)satisfactions of the Student-Consumer

    Elizabeth Nixon, Elizabeth R Nixon et al.•ARTICLE•Studies in Higher Education•2018•Cited by: 29•References: 54

    Intensifying marketisation across higher education (HE) in England continues to generate critical commentary on the potentially devastating consequences of market logic for learning. In this paper, we consider the student-consumer prominent in these debates as a contested yet under-analysed entity. In contrast to the dominance of homo economicus discursively constructed in policy, we offer a psychoanalytically-informed interpretation of undergrad…

    Open Access•Kristin Hadfield, Elizabeth Nixon et al.•ARTICLE•Journal of Family Issues•2018•Cited by: 3•References: 43

    Although research has documented the negative effects of family transitions generally on child and maternal outcomes, transitions into and out of mothers' relationships with partners who are not the father(s) of their child(ren) are less well understood. Through thematic analysis of semistructured interviews, this study investigated how 21 mothers and their 21 children (aged 9 to 18 years) responded to mothers' relationship formation following th…

  • Politicising the study of sustainable living practices

    Janice Denegri‐knott, Janice Denegri-Knott et al.•ARTICLE•Consumption Markets & Culture•2018•Cited by: 22•References: 78

    In studies of consumption, social theories of practice foreground the purchasing and use of resources not for intrinsic pleasure but rather in the routine accomplishment of ‘normal’ ways of living. In this paper we argue that a key strength of theories of practice lies in their ability to expose questions of power in the construction of normality, but that this has been largely overlooked. Since practice theories are leveraged in understanding ur…

  • Variations in adolescents’ motivational characteristics across gender and physical activity patterns: A latent class analysis approach

    Open Access•Margaret Lawler, Caroline Heary et al.•ARTICLE•BMC Public Health•2017

    This research offers a nuanced insight into the underlying type of activities that constitute overall patterns of PA among adolescent boys and girls and further reveals that psychological processes vary dependent on the profile of physical activity undertaken. The findings may be useful for informing interventions aimed at promoting physical activity among young people

    Relative to research that has explored outcomes for children associated with living in a single parent family, less attention has been paid to how children interpret and make sense of their family situation. Drawing on qualitative interviews with 38 children and adolescents, aged 7 to 17 years in Ireland, this study explores children's experiences of growing up in a continuously single-parent family, without experiencing separation and transition…

    Kristin Hadfield, Elizabeth Nixon et al.•ARTICLE•Journal of Family Studies•2013•Cited by: 6•References: 4

    Previous research has tended to classify stepfamilies based on self-report of their familial relationships. However, some stepfamily members do not identify as being part of a stepfamily, leading to the exclusion of certain stepfamilies from stepfamily research. Using data from the first national cohort study of children in Ireland, the aim of this study was to compare the characteristics of self-identifying stepfamilies with those of non-self-id…

  • Just normal and homely’: The presence, absence and othering of consumer culture in everyday imagining

    Open Access•Rebecca Jenkins, Elizabeth R Nixon et al.•ARTICLE•Journal of Consumer Culture•2011•Cited by: 4•References: 11

    The imaginative aspects of consumption have been recognized as playing a key role in accounting for Western consumerism, yet there has been surprisingly little attention paid to the role of imagining in everyday life. Previous consumer research has tended to focus on goods and services within daydreams and fantasies so that goods seem to be central to, and key resources in, the construction of imagined scenarios. Here we argue that this methodolo…

    Western black‐and‐white colobus and Temmink's red colobus are two forest‐dependent African primates with similar ecological requirements, often found in sympatry. Their most striking difference lies in their social system: black‐and‐white colobus live in small groups with mainly male‐mediated dispersal but where females can also disperse, whereas red colobus live in larger groups with males described as philopatric. To investigate whether genetic…

    Mike Molesworth, Elizabeth Nixon et al.•ARTICLE•Teaching in Higher Education•2009

    In this paper we express concerns that the marketisation of British higher education that has accompanied its expansion has resulted in some sections becoming pedagogically limited. We draw from Fromm's humanist philosophy based on having to argue that the current higher education (HE) market discourse promotes a mode of existence, where students seek to ‘have a degree’ rather than ‘be learners’. This connects pedagogic theory to a critique of co…

Semistructured qualitative interviews were conducted with 13 parents (6 fathers, 7 mothers) of preterm infants. Data were analyzed using interpreta…

  • The social anatomy of ‘collusion’

    Open Access•Charles Crook, Elizabeth Nixon et al.•ARTICLE•British Educational Research…•2019•References: 27

    This article offers a conceptual analysis of collusion, the often overlooked relative of plagiarism in debates on academic integrity. Considered as an inherently social phenomenon, we present the results of a systematic effort to understand the anatomy of collusion. The term's meanings and associated governance practices are compared for contexts outside higher education. These are considered alongside a thematic analysis of publicly available UK…

  • Infant language predicts fathers’ vocabulary in infant-directed speech

    Open Access•Jean Quigley, Elizabeth Nixon et al.•ARTICLE•Journal of Child Language•2020

    Research on sources of individual difference in parental Infant-Directed Speech (IDS) is limited and there is a particular lack of research on fathers’ compared to mothers’ speech. This study examined the predictive relations between infant characteristics and variability in paternal lexical diversity (LD) in dyadic free play with two-year-olds (M = 24.1 months, SD = 1.39, 35 girls). Ten minutes of interaction for sixty-four father–infant dyads w…

  • The fool, the hero, and the sage: Narratives of Non-Consumption as Role Distance From an Urban Consumer-Self

    Elizabeth Nixon, Elizabeth R Nixon•ARTICLE•Consumption Markets & Culture•2020•Cited by: 3•References: 72

    One fruitful perspective with which to think differently about the consuming subject in affluent capitalist societies can be found in the field of non-consumption. Whilst ‘choices’ not to buy, own and use are often tacit in analyses of social class dynamics, identity expression, and consumer resistance, here we adopt the dramaturgical perspective of Erving Goffman to argue that forms of non-consumption may occur within expressions of role distanc…

    Open Access•Jean Quigley, Elizabeth Nixon et al.•ARTICLE•Early Childhood Research Quarterly•2021•References: 8

    This observational study compares the child directed speech (CDS) of mothers and fathers to toddlers in the context of dyadic and triadic interaction. Further the influence of observed co-parenting dynamics on parental triadic speech and associations with child language are explored. Seventy-three toddlers (M = 24.1 months, SD=1.37; 37 girls) and their parents were recorded in dyadic and triadic free play in a laboratory setting. All speech from …

  • Academic labour as professional service work? A psychosocial analysis of emotion in lecturer–student relations under marketization

    Open Access•Elizabeth R Nixon, Richard Scullion•ARTICLE•Human Relations•2022•Cited by: 8•References: 77

    The marketization of higher education entails a radical reshaping of the educational relationship as one in which the lecturer is recast as a professional service worker, implicitly or explicitly tasked with ensuring the satisfaction of fee-paying students as sovereign consumers. What does an organizational discourse of high customer satisfaction mean for the emotional experiences of lecturers on the frontline? In this article, we conduct a psych…
