What does it mean to be an Aboriginal father living on Darkinjung Country? yarning with Aboriginal fathers and father figures on the Central Coast of New South Wales Australia
Strengths-based parenting research involving Aboriginal fathers is scarce. This study centralises the knowledge and experiences of Aboriginal fathers and father figures living on Darkinjung Country, Central Coast of New South Wales, Australia. Yarning methodology was used to explore the roles and experiences of Aboriginal fathers living on Darkinjung Country and discuss what it means to be a healthy father as defined by Aboriginal men. Role model…
Should “sisters” be doing it by themselves? Leadership, allyship, and mobilization for gender equality
While gender equality initiatives have historically been spearheaded by women, male allies' contribution is increasingly recognized—and challenged. Our article examines the pivotal yet neglected intersection of women's leadership and allyship for gender equality. Across two experiments with community samples (total N = 801), we investigate how message framing (common cause vs. women's issue; Experiment 1), intergroup/male versus intragroup/female…
How many words? Precision‐based sample sizes for assessment at‐a‐distance
Assessment at‐a‐distance studies often assess whether a leader is high or low on a score by whether or not the leader's score is a standard deviation higher or lower than the reference group mean, both as a way of assessing an individual leader and of comparing two or more leaders. This practice assumes that scores derived from the minimum number of words are sufficiently precise and that comparisons with the reference group mean are meaningful. …
Biya yadha gudjagang yadha: The cultural adaptation of the healthy dads healthy kids programme for Aboriginal fathers and their children living on Darkinjung country
Despite Aboriginal parents and their children being identified as a health priority group, culturally relevant parenting support is scarce, particularly support that is tailored for Aboriginal fathers. This article reports the systematic cultural adaptation of the Healthy Dads Healthy Kids programme for Aboriginal fathers and their children living on Darkinjung Country, Central Coast of New South Wales, Australia resulting in the development of b…
Replicability, adaptability and long-term impact of the ‘Healthy Youngsters, Healthy Dads’ program in Newcastle, Australia
‘Healthy Youngsters, Healthy Dads’ (HYHD) targets fathers to improve the health of their preschool-aged children. In a previous randomized trial, fathers and children experienced meaningful improvements in physical activity and eating behaviours. The next phase is to test the replicability and adaptability of HYHD when delivered in the community by trained facilitators. Fathers/father-figures and children aged 3–5 years were recruited from Newcas…
Are gender-stereotyped attitudes and beliefs in fathers and daughters associated with girls’ perceived motor competence
Background Children can internalise social and parental gender stereotypes and this may influence their perceived motor competence (PMC). This study aimed to examine the association between father and daughter gender-stereotyped attitudes/beliefs and girls’ PMC.Methods Girls (N = 68, Mage = 8.9 years, SD = 1.7) and their fathers were recruited at baseline from a physical activity intervention. Girls’ PMC was assessed using the pictorial scale of …
Faith Renewed: Validation of the LTA_Classic Conceptual Complexity Coding Scheme
Following the creation of the LTA_Classic automated coding schemes for Margaret Hermann’s approach to leadership analysis, LTA_Classic has become a widely used tool for researching the individual differences between leaders and their policies in the last two decades. However, there has been no prior published assessment of the validity of the LTA_Classic coding scheme. The result of this validity assessment is a revised coding scheme (CC_2023) wi…
Automated Motive Scoring and International Crisis Behavior
Although implicit motives are well established, coding for implicit motives has been a time-consuming and difficult manual process. This study (i) evaluates automated motive coding schemes for Need for Achievement, Need for Affiliation, and Need for Power, (ii) assesses the relationship between these three motives and crisis initiation, and (iii) assesses the explanatory power of other psychological variables for crisis behavior. The results esta…

Men’s Perceptions of a Gender-Tailored eHealth Program Targeting Physical and Mental Health: Qualitative Findings from the SHED-IT Recharge Trial
Despite increasing rates of co-morbid depression and obesity, few interventions target both conditions simultaneously, particularly in men. The SHED-IT: Recharge trial, conducted in 125 men with depressive symptoms and overweight or obesity, tested the efficacy of a gender-tailored eHealth program with integrated mental health support. The aims of this study were to examine the perceptions of men who received the SHED-IT: Recharge intervention in…

Forum: Coding in Tongues: Developing Non-English Coding Schemes for Leadership Profiling
Over the last twenty years since the introduction of automated coding schemes, research in foreign policy analysis (FPA) has made great advances. However, this automatization process is based on the analysis of verbal statements of leaders to create leadership profiles and has remained largely confined in terms of language. That is, the coding schemes can only parse English-language texts. This reduces both the quality and quantity of available d…

Compliance to step count and vegetable serve recommendations mediates weight gain prevention in mid-age, premenopausal women. Findings of the 40-Something RCT
The 40-Something RCT aimed to determine if a 12-month health professional-led intervention could modify diet and physical activity behaviour for obesity prevention, in 44-50 year old, non-obese (BMI = 18.5-29.9 kg/m(2)) premenopausal women. Women were monitored for an additional 12 months to determine if effects could be maintained. This paper aimed to explore dietary and physical activity behavioural mediators hypothesised to be causally associa…
Increased Complexity Has Its Benefits
This piece is a response to the Conway, Conway, Gornick, and Houck (2014) description of an automated method for assessing integrative complexity. It builds on the authors' 15 years of experience in automating a variety of textual analysis coding schemes including that measuring conceptual complexity and is intended to address some of the issues raised in the process of automating content analysis categories

The Conceptual Complexity of Presidents Carter and Clinton: An Automated Content Analysis of Temporal Stability and Source Bias
Previous work on the measurement of leaders' foreign policy orientations by Margaret G. Hermann argues that spontaneous utterances should provide more useful indications of stable personality characteristics than prepared statements. This paper reconsiders this question for Presidents Jimmy Carter and Bill Clinton through an automated coding system. A large number of spontaneous utterances and prepared statements by these presidents were compared…

Presidential Operational Codes and Foreign Policy Conflicts in the Post-Cold War World
The authors investigate the linkage between presidential operational codes and the management of foreign policy conflicts during the period of strategic adjustment in American foreign policy following the cold war. Beliefs expressed in public speeches by Presidents George Bush and Bill Clinton are coded for self and other attributions that represent different forms of the exercise of political power. Bush's beliefs reveal a less cooperative, rela…
Systematic Procedures for Operational Code Analysis: Measuring and Modeling Jimmy Carter's Operational Code
In this article we introduce a new scoring system for doing operational code analysis and test its reliability and validity by measuring and modeling President Jimmy Carter's operational code. Using speeches from the public record we construct indices for the elements of the operational code construct. Based upon the valences and scaled intensities of verbs uttered in the speeches, President Jimmy Carter's views of the political universe and appr…

Cognitive Mapping Meets Semantic Networks
Cognitive mapping has been a valuable tool in understanding how individuals view their external environment. It has been used successfully to investigate crisis decision making, juror decision making, and international negotiation, and may find further use as a support tool in negotiation and mediation. This article presents a method for enhanced cognitive mapping—WorldView, which uses the symbol-based formalism of semantic networks. WorldView pr…

Is There Method in Our Madness? Ways of Assessing Cognition in International Relations
Cognition is central to the study of international affairs and underlies concepts such as power and interest. Yet, in spite of its importance, only recently have methodologies been developed to systematically analyze cognition. This essay begins by identifying the role that cognition plays in international politics; it then looks at some of the challenges faced in trying to assess cognition and how technology is assisting with these challenges. T…
