Expressive suppression tendencies, projection bias in memory of negative emotions, and well-being
The current research extends prior research linking negative emotions and emotion regulation tendencies to memory by investigating whether (a) naturally occurring negative emotions during routine weekly life are associated with more negatively biased memories of prior emotional experiences-a bias called projection; (b) tendencies to regulate emotions via expressive suppression are associated with greater projection bias in memory of negative emot…
The Infinite Game
People are symbolic creatures, and generative symbols can help us understand the present and imagine the future. Here we describe a workshop based on the (symbolic) premise that life is composed of at least two kinds of games: the infinite game in which the key purpose is to keep the game in play and invite others in, and finite games in which the purpose is to win. The infinite game envisages a world in which all life-forms are celebrated and nu…
Sharing values as a foundation for collective hope
A widespread “tale of terror” amongst those seeking social change is that people in modern Western societies are caught in a neo-liberal paradigm and have come to care most about materialism, individual success and status. Our research attempted to challenge this tale. Study 1 involved New Zealand participants (N = 1085) from largely, but not exclusively, left-leaning groups. We used an open-ended process to identify their “infinite” values (that…
Negotiating the hairless ideal in Āotearoa/New Zealand
Hair removal amongst Western women is ubiquitous, and research continues to highlight the ongoing conformity of almost all women with hair removal practices. Often women are presented as either cultural dupes, following the expectations of the Western hairless ideal without question, or highly engaged participants in the rigours of aesthetic labour, using it for their own agentic purposes. This paper seeks to explore the various ways that younger…
The debate about the funding of Herceptin
Collective Reflexivity
The Albany Memory Work Collective emerged from discussions amongst the members of the Albany Discourse and Narrative Group, a group of postgraduate scholars and staff who meet regularly to discuss research issues. The authors of this paper were a sub-group of this larger group. Our intent was to explore memory work as a methodology, to use the method as a means of exploring the varieties and complexities of our relationships with participants in …
Emplacement and everyday use of medications in domestic dwellings
It's not really us discriminating against immigrants, it's more telling people how to fit in’
Previous research has demonstrated that talk about immigration can function to produce, reproduce and stabilize racism (Capdevila & Callaghan, 2008 ). In New Zealand (NZ), changes in immigration policy have seen a rapid increase in diverse groups of migrants with varied cultural backgrounds entering the country in the past two decades. Given its unique colonial history and ‘settler nationality in a bicultural nation’ (Bell, 2009 ), we explored ho…
Nutritional health, subjectivity and resistance
Food is related to health, both directly and symbolically, in complex ways. Also, social practices around food are highly gendered, and, in the context of family life, fall largely to mothers. This study examines mothers' talk about nutritional health, and food, health and dietary practices in the context of everyday life, using a discursive analysis of the talk from focus group discussions. Findings show that discourses surrounding nutritional h…
It's gotten a bit old, charity’
An extensive body of literature exists on the phenomena of poverty, charitable giving and the effectiveness of aid appeals. To date psychological research has predominantly focused on individualistic models to explain people's understandings of poverty and their charitable giving practices. Based upon a social constructionist epistemology, this study investigates how understandings of aid appeals, poverty and charitable giving are discursively pr…
Nutritional Health Messages in Women's Magazines
Media representations of food are ubiquitous in contemporary society, and healthy eating features predominantly in such texts. This study explores the discursive construction of food and healthy eating in texts appearing in popular women's magazines, and examines the variety of positions and subjectivities offered to women readers of these texts. We find that such texts present quite complex constructions of nutritional health, based on scientifi…
