Characterizing heterogeneity in motivational impairments in psychosis
These findings suggest that aspects of approach and avoidance motivation may be both uniquely and additively associated with anxiety, depression, and hedonic experiences. Characterization of motivational profiles may help parse heterogeneity in motivation and predict other important aspects of illness
Young Australian Women’s Views on Peer Support for Self-Harm
Self-harm among young women has been rising internationally and in Australia, yet many are not in contact with formal services. Peer support may play an important role in managing self-harm; however, it remains under-investigated. This qualitative study explored how young Australian women perceive peer support for managing self-harm. Using purposive sampling, twenty-seven women ( M = 20.9, SD = 2.1) with lived or living experiences of self-harm p…
Perspectives from Young Australian Women with Lived Experience on Why Rates of Self-Harm Are Increasing
Rates of self-harm in Australian young people have increased significantly in recent years, especially in young women. Self-harm has been associated with several risk factors, including a history of abuse, bullying, mood and personality disorders, social isolation and suicidal ideation. However, little is known about why rates have increased in the past decade, and the voices of young Australian women have been conspicuously absent from the resea…
How Do Young Women Perceive Adult Responses to the Disclosure of Their Self-Harm and What Is the Impact of That Perception
Rates of self-harm amongst young women are rising. However, only half of individuals disclose self-harm, and when they do, they may be met with responses that can be harmful or helpful to recovery. The aim of the current study is to understand how young women perceive adult (e.g., parents, health professionals) responses to their self-harm disclosures, and the impact these responses have on them. Semi-structured interviews were conducted with you…
A Cluster Randomized Controlled Trial on the Effectiveness of the Building Educators' Skills in Adolescent Mental Health (Beam) Program for Improving Secondary School Educators' Confidence, Behavior, …
Secondary school educators are well placed to recognize and respond to mental illness in adolescents; however, many report low confidence and skills in doing so. A confirmatory cluster randomized controlled trial involving 295 educators (Mean age: 40.10 years, SD : 10.47; 76.6% female, 2.7% Aboriginal or Torres Strait Islander) from 73 Australian secondary schools (22 in rural-regional locations) evaluated the effectiveness of a new professional …

Reward Learning, Neurocognition, Social Cognition, and Symptomatology in Psychosis
Reward learning was associated with symptoms of psychosis - in particular negative symptoms - across diagnoses, and was predictive of worse social cognition. Reward learning was not associated with neurocognitive performance, suggesting that, across patient groups, social cognition but not neurocognition may share common pathways with this aspect of reinforcement learning. Better understanding of how cognitive dysfunction and reward processing de…
