Drawing strength: Evaluating the Tidda Talk programme through comparative body mapping with young Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander women
This study explored changes in understanding and self-perception among participants involved in the Tidda Talk programme (i.e. a culturally tailored physical activity and psychosocial education intervention for young Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander women), focusing on its influence on mental health, social and emotional wellbeing, and health beliefs. Due to its cultural alignment, the arts-based research method of body mapping was used to e…
Improving juror assessments of forensic testimony and its effects on decision-making and evidence evaluation
OBJECTIVE: We explored whether an educational forensic science informational (FSI) video either alone or with specialized jury instructions would assist mock jurors in evaluating forensic expert testimony. HYPOTHESES: We predicted that the FSI video would help participants distinguish between low-quality and high-quality testimony, evidenced by lower ratings of the testimony and the expert when the testimonial quality was low compared with when i…
A Forensic Science Informational Video Can Help Mock Jurors Evaluate Forensic Expert Testimony
Forensic science is a central component of jurors’ decisions in many criminal cases. Nevertheless, research has shown that jurors are not sensitive to violations of testimonial guidelines for expert testimony in court and generally struggle to comprehend and evaluate forensic science testimony. Consequently, the U.S. Department of Justice (DOJ) developed the Uniform Language for Testimony and Reports (ULTR) to standardize the language used in suc…
The interrogator‐suspect dynamic in custodial interrogations for high‐stakes crimes in Sweden: An application of the interrogation taxonomy framework
This archival study was the first in Sweden, and the first outside of the US and the UK, to apply the (Kelly et al., Psychology, Public Policy, and Law , 9 , 165–178, 2013) taxonomy of interrogation methods framework to repeated police interrogations of adult suspects in high‐stakes crimes. Audio/video recordings ( N = 19) were collected from the Swedish Police Authority of repeated interrogations of three suspects in three criminal cases. The in…
Parent Perspectives of Ear Health and the Relationship with Children’s Speech and Language in the Longitudinal Study of Indigenous Children
Health and well-being are holistic concepts that are perceived to be inseparable for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples. We examined relationships between parent-reported ear symptoms for 787 Indigenous children at two time points (age 2-3 years, age 4-5 years) and two parent-reported speech and language outcomes one year later (age 5-6 years). Most parents (80.2%) reported no concern about their child's expressive language and (93.8%)…
Social and Behavioural Correlates of High Physical Activity Levels among Aboriginal Adolescent Participants of the Next Generation: Youth Wellbeing Study
Physical activity typically decreases during teenage years and has been identified as a health priority by Aboriginal adolescents. We examined associations between physical activity levels and sociodemographic, movement and health variables in the Aboriginal led 'Next Generation: Youth Well-being (NextGen) Study' of Aboriginal people aged 10-24 years from Central Australia, Western Australia and New South Wales. Baseline survey data collected by …

The detrimental impact of alcohol intoxication on facets of Miranda comprehension
OBJECTIVE: rights remain unknown-a gap that the present study sought to address. HYPOTHESES: comprehension compared to sober individuals and those who believed they were intoxicated (but were in fact not; i.e., placebo participants). METHOD: -related vocabulary. RESULTS: rights recognition or appreciation. CONCLUSIONS: comprehension. Thus, it is important that law enforcement consider refraining from questioning intoxicated suspects. (PsycInfo Da…

Sport and academic performance in Australian Indigenous children
Objective Sport may promote academic performance through physiological and psychosocial mechanisms. We aimed to examine the association between sports participation and academic performance in Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander children. Methods Participants were from four successive waves of Australia’s Longitudinal Study of Indigenous Children ( n = 303, baseline age 5–6 y). Cumulative sports participation was regressed against academic perf…
Media neglect of Indigenous student performance in the Programme for International Student Assessment (Pisa) 2001–2015
This research explores media reporting of Indigenous students’ Programme for International Student Assessment (PISA) results in two national and 11 metropolitan Australian newspapers from 2001 to 2015. Of almost 300 articles on PISA, only 10 focused on reporting of Indigenous PISA results. While general or non-Indigenous PISA results featured in media reports, especially at the time of the publication of PISA results, there was overwhelming negle…

Physical activity among indigenous Australian children and youth in remote and non-remote areas
The ability to detect false statements as a function of the type of statement and the language proficiency of the statement provider
A Multilab Preregistered Replication of the Ego-Depletion Effect
Good self-control has been linked to adaptive outcomes such as better health, cohesive personal relationships, success in the workplace and at school, and less susceptibility to crime and addictions. In contrast, self-control failure is linked to maladaptive outcomes. Understanding the mechanisms by which self-control predicts behavior may assist in promoting better regulation and outcomes. A popular approach to understanding self-control is the …
Indigenous Participation in Australian Sport: The Perils of the 'Panacea' Proposition
The argument that participation in sport among disadvantaged populations can produce positive outcomes in wide range of areas has been a consistent theme in academic literature. It is argued that sport participation can promote women's empowerment, sexuality, lifestyle, peacemaking, youth development, poverty reduction and conflict resolution. Similarly, in Australia, participation in sport among Indigenous Australians has been proffered as a 'pa…
Dispositions of elite-level Australian rugby coaches towards game sense: Characteristics of their coaching habitus
Bourdieu's analytic concept of habitus has provided a valuable means of theorising coach development but is yet to be operationalised in empirical research. This article redresses this oversight by drawing on a larger study that inquired into how the ‘coaching habitus’ of elite-level Australian and New Zealand rugby coaches structured their interpretation and use of the Game Sense approach to coaching to illustrate how habitus can be operationali…
Intoxicated witnesses and suspects: Procedures and prevalence according to law enforcement
Legal psychologists have generally neglected intoxicated witnesses and suspects in their research. One possible reason is the lack of objective information about the prevalence and characteristics of this witness and suspect group. Also unclear is whether standard police procedures for dealing with intoxicated individuals exist and what these may be. The present survey was conducted to help fill this void. Law enforcement officers completed a sur…
