Measures of Media Multitasking
Media multitasking (MMT) is defined as simultaneously consuming more than one stream of content and is frequently measured using the Media Use Questionnaire (MUQ). The MUQ was developed in 2009 and includes 12 media items reflective of that period. Subsequent MMT research led to the development of similar measures to examine MMT in adult and adolescent samples. The aim of this study was to review the media items listed within six widely used meas…

Therapeutic Processes that Impact Child Outcomes Following Exposure Therapy for Child Specific Phobias
This study investigates the relationship between therapeutic process variables and child outcomes following exposure therapy for specific phobias (SPs) in children. SPs are a common childhood disorder and a predictor of future mental health conditions. While Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) and One-Session Treatment (OST) are effective in treating SPs, a notable percentage of children do not fully respond. The study examined key therapeutic pr…
Tracing the Impact of Media, Cultural Narratives, and Social Perceptions on Australia's Anabolic-Androgenic Steroid Communities
Anabolic-androgenic steroids (AAS) are used for performance and image enhancement, yet their non-medical use in Australia is heavily criminalized and framed by sociocultural narratives that emphasize risk, deviance and harm. This study aimed to critically examine how people who use AAS experience these narratives, focusing on challenging their role in perpetuating stigma and reinforcing punitive responses. The study employed a peer-led approach t…
Martial Arts Crossed Over Into the Rest of My Life
Martial arts and combat sports (MA&CS) have emerged as a promising avenue for enhancing health and wellbeing amidst growing concerns about noncommunicable diseases and mental health issues. This study explored the lived experiences of practitioners engaged in modern MA&CS, such as mixed martial arts (MMA), to understand how the practice of modern MA&CS impacts individuals biologically, psychologically and socially. Guided by the Biopsychosocial M…
Examining the association between trenbolone, psychological distress, and aggression among males who use anabolic-androgenic steroids
The study highlights trenbolone's association with increased verbal aggression among males using AAS, particularly at higher doses. Further research should continue to differentiate between AAS types and the accompanying health harms
Understanding muscularity, physique anxiety, and the experience of body image enhancement among men and women
This study explores the growing trend of pursuing an ideal muscular physique, which escalates the risk of body image issues and engagement in enhancement behaviours. Employing a mixed‐methods approach, we examined the psychosocial dynamics surrounding these ideals and experiences, particularly the use of performance and image‐enhancing drugs (PIEDs). The quantitative arm of the study, involving 131 participants of mixed gender, investigated assoc…

‘My mind pretty much went to mush’
More drugs means more stress on my body”
Existing data reveals prevalent performance and image-enhancing drug (PIED) use in specific global regions and higher rates among athletes, however, research on performance-enhancement experiences among elite untested athletes is lacking.Drawing on conceptual frameworks that emphasize the intersection of context and practice, this research aims to gain insights into the subjective perspectives, motivations, and challenges faced by athletes in man…
A brief self-compassionate reflective writing task can manage negative reactions following an eating transgression
Objective This study investigated the efficacy of brief 3-minute reflective writing tasks to manage reactions following an upsetting self-perceived eating transgression.Methods Participants (N = 270) identified their own recent upsetting eating scenario and were randomised to complete a writing task encouraging either self-reflective re-construal or self-compassion. All state outcomes were measured immediately pre- and post-intervention, except f…
Preschool children's engagement with a social robot compared to a human instructor
Young children are exposed to new digital technologies, such as social robots. Limited research exists on how children engage with social robots and their role in the preschool classroom. This study observed 35 English-speaking children (M age = 4.60 years) participating in two tasks (Simon Says and iPad drawing) under the guidance of a social robot or human instructor. Children's engagement was measured across behavioural, emotional, and verbal …
The mental health of elite athletes in developing nations of the greater Oceania region
Objective The mental health of elite athletes is reportedly similar to that of the general community, but there could be important differences across geographic regions and cultures. This study investigated the mental health and levels of psychological distress of elite athletes from developing nations in the Oceania region via a cross-sectional survey.Method The survey assessed the mental health status, psychological distress, and help-seeking b…
Young children’s interactions with a social robot during a drawing task
Social robots communicate through human-like behaviours and are being used in preschool settings. However, the ways in which young children interact with social robots and how these impact upon early educational experiences are not fully known. This observational study explored preschoolers’ (Mean age = 4.58 years; N = 40) interactions with a social robot called NAO during a drawing activity, in South East Queensland, Australia. Most children (83…
External shame and its association with depression and anxiety
Objective: The self-focused emotion of shame has been implicated in risk for psychopathology. However, this risk might be reduced by using emotion regulation strategies. To better understand the factors influencing emotion regulation and well-being in Australian university students, the current study investigated the relationships between external shame, a perception of judgement and negative evaluation from others, and core symptoms associated w…
Associative Learning Processes in the Formation of Intergroup Anxiety and Avoidance in Society
Laboratory-based aversive conditioning studies have reliably induced fear toward an image of an outgroup member by pairing the image with a fear-inducing, aversive stimulus. However, laboratory-based studies have been criticized for being simplistic in comparison to the complexities of the real world. The current study is the first to apply an aversive conditioning framework to explain the formation of intergroup fear and subsequent anxiety towar…

Seeking and avoiding intergroup contact
Over 60 years of research and comprehensive reviews now support Gordon Allport's contact hypothesis that face‐to‐face interactions between members of opposing groups should be promoted to lessen prejudice and improve intergroup relations. Society however does not yet enjoy the full prejudice‐reducing benefits of intergroup contact because opportunities for contact are often not taken up, and segregation persists in the face of diversity. In this …
Gender differences in reading and writing achievement
A frequently observed research finding is that females outperform males on tasks of verbal and language abilities, but there is considerable variability in effect sizes from sample to sample. The gold standard for evaluating gender differences in cognitive ability is to recruit a large, demographically representative sample. We examined 3 decades of U.S. student achievement in reading and writing from the National Assessment of Educational Progre…
Cross-cultural validation of the Depression Anxiety Stress Scale–21 in China.
The gap between the demand and delivery of mental health services in mainland China can be reduced by validating freely available and psychometrically sound psychological instruments. The present research examined the Chinese version of the 21-item Depression Anxiety Stress Scales (DASS-21). Study 1 administered the DASS-21 to 1,815 Chinese college students and found internal consistency indices (Cronbach's alpha) of .83, .80, and .82 for the Dep…
Devaluation of Rewards for the Future Is Associated With Schizotypal Personality Features
ObjectiveEmpirical evidence has suggested that schizophrenia is associated with dysfunctions in the reward system and working memory. However, little is known about individuals at risk for schizophrenia. In particular, it is not known if those with schizotypal personality features will show similar deficits in these two domains. This study examined whether individuals with schizotypal personality disorder features will subjectively devalue potent…
Empathy-Related Ratings to Still Images of Human and Nonhuman Animal Groups in Negative Contexts Graded for Phylogenetic Similarity
Research using film stimuli has shown that the strength of empathy-related responses toward nonhuman animals is related to the amount of phylogenetic similarity of the animals to humans. The present study aimed to develop and validate a new set of still images depicting humans and nonhuman animals (primates, quadruped mammals, birds, reptiles) in negative circumstances to provide greater control over variable image quality and contextual features…
Young Children's Visual Attention to Environmental Print as Measured by Eye Tracker Analysis
Environmental print, such as signs and product labels, consist of both print and contextual cues designed to attract the visual attention of the reader. However, contextual cues may draw young children's attention away from the print, thus questioning the value of environmental print in early reading development. Eye tracker technology was used to measure the extent that children attend to words in environmental print. The relationships between p…
Gender-Role Differences in Spatial Ability
Although gender-related differences in highly gender typed cognitive abilities are of considerable interest to educators and cognitive researchers alike, relatively little progress has been made in understanding the psychological processes that lead to them. However, changes in gender equality and gender stereotypes in the decades since merit a re-examination of whether a gender-role association still holds
The Effect of Different Attentional Strategies on Physiological and Psychological States During Running
The attentional focus of an athlete or recreational exerciser may influence performance outcomes during running. The present study used an experimental approach to manipulate the associative attentional focus of regular exercisers (n = 21) as they ran on a treadmill at 75% of Vmax. Participants focused their attention on their breathing, running movements, the distance travelled, or under no specific instructions (control). A focus on distance tr…

The effects of using a wiki on student engagement and learning of report writing skills in a university statistics course
A wiki was used as part of a blended learning approach to promote collaborative learning among students in a first year university statistics class. One group of students analysed a data set and communicated the results by jointly writing a practice report using a wiki. A second group analysed the same data but communicated the results in a practice report that they wrote individually. Both groups were taught the same material. The report was use…
Evaluating computer-based simulations, multimedia and animations that help integrate blended learning with lectures in first year statistics
The discipline of statistics seems well suited to the integration of technology in a lecture as a means to enhance student learning and engagement. Technology can be used to simulate statistical concepts, create interactive learning exercises, and illustrate real world applications of statistics. The present study aimed to better understand the use of such applications during lectures from the student's perspective. The technology used included m…
