Emotional and behavioural predictors of dropout intention and the moderating role of student appraisals among international students in Australian universities
International student dropout presents a critical challenge for universities, with consequences for student well-being, institutional performance, and national economies. Despite their growing representation, limited research has investigated the psychological and institutional factors influencing dropout intention among international students. This study aimed to identify key psychological predictors of dropout intention and examine whether stud…
Global consciousness and James H. Liu's legacy
Consciousness is at once known to us all and perplexing. It remains a polysemic concept, the complexities of which we could never hope to do justice to in this brief editorial. For the purposes of expediency, we propose that in social psychology, consciousness is thought to encompass various complex and dynamic biological and social processes spanning our senses, cognition, personal and collective memory, language and narration. Consciousness is …
Carrying the light forward
It is with deep sorrow that we mourn the passing of Professor Li Liu (刘力), President of the Asian Association of Social Psychology (AASP), distinguished social psychologist and cherished teacher, colleague and friend. Professor Liu passed away on 29 October 2025 at the age of 62. His departure is a profound loss to AASP and the global community of social psychologists, and especially to the many students and scholars whose lives he touched. Born …
Unpacking global consciousness
Global consciousness is a critical construct in an increasingly interconnected world, encompassing an awareness of the interconnectedness and diversity of humankind and a commitment to moral action on its behalf. However, its psychological dimensions remain underexplored, necessitating further understanding of the cognitive, emotional and behavioural processes that drive meaningful engagement with global challenges. A scoping review was conducted…
Gaps and gains in parents' mental health literacy
The aim of this study was to compare the knowledge and beliefs about attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) between first-generation Chinese Canadian and European Canadian parents, and to evaluate the efficacy of an existing translated ADHD information resource to improve their ADHD literacy. A community sample of 28 first-generation Chinese Canadian and 28 European Canadian parents of elementary school-aged children completed questionna…
Forum on “The emotional landscape of English medium instruction (EMI) in higher education”
The studies presented in this special issue on the emotional landscape of English medium instruction (EMI) in higher education settings offer valuable insights into the variety of emotions that get entangled in policies, discourses, and practices in local EMI contexts, and the emotional effects of EMI on various stakeholders, such as students, teachers, and administrators. It is also important to contemplate 1) how the research findings can be ap…
The emotional landscape of English medium instruction (EMI) in higher education
This editorial piece is the introduction to our special issue on the emotional landscape of English medium instruction (EMI) in higher education. In this piece, we argue for a greater focus on examining the emotional environment of EMI in higher education—the variety of emotions that get entangled in policies, discourses, and practices in local EMI contexts, and the emotional effects of EMI on various stakeholders, such as students, teachers, and…

A total of 1,220 participants from 107 cities in China took part in a cross-sectional survey. The data were collected during the early stages of the COVID-19 pandemic (from April 10 to June 10,…
The impact of oil industry-related social exclusion on community wellbeing and health in African countries
Background: Oil is the mainstay revenue for a number of African countries. However, extraction can result in multiple impacts on the health and wellbeing of communities living in oil-rich areas. This review explored evidence of oil industry-related social exclusion on community health and wellbeing on the African continent. Methods: We used a systematic approach guided by PRISMA to search six databases for empirical and descriptive sources focuse…
Predictive Factors for Depression and Anxiety in Men During the Perinatal Period
The purpose of this study was to identify the risk factors associated with paternal perinatal mental distress in a sample of Australian men. A mixed-methods design was used. The qualitative component ( N = 13) using thematic analysis identified maternal depression, marital distress, masculine gender role stress, unplanned pregnancy, work–family conflict, and sleep disturbance as risk factors for paternal perinatal mental distress. The quantitativ…
Effects of magnanimous therapy on emotional, psychosomatic and immune functions of lung cancer patients
This study was a randomised controlled study on the effects of the individual computer magnanimous therapy and group computer magnanimous therapy on emotional, psychosomatic and immune function among advanced lung cancer patients. Patients were examined at baseline and 2 weeks later using the Psychosomatic Status Scale for Cancer Patients, Hospital Anxiety Depression Scale and IgA, IgG, IgM and natural killer cell functions. The results showed th…
Pornography use and sexism among heterosexual men
The idea that pornography promotes sexism is a commonly purported one. This study employed an online sample of heterosexual men (N = 323) to investigate the relationship between pornography use (in terms of both overall level of pornography use and use of violent and/or humiliating pornography) and old-fashioned and modern sexism. The moderating effects of agreeableness and perceived realism of pornography were also assessed. Level of general por…
What does Theory & Psychology have to offer community-orientated psychologists
Psychology is awash with different understandings and enactments of relations between theory and action. This article explores coverage in Theory & Psychology of such relations from the perspective of four community psychologists who are seeking insights into how to further integrate our theory, research, practice, and teaching activities. We first consider a dedicated special issue on Theory in Action that exemplifies some of the mental gymnasti…
Risk factors for paternal perinatal depression and anxiety
From a stranger to a ‘one-of-us’ ally
Promoting social inclusion and supporting positive outcomes for marginalised groups through allyship has been a persistent feature of community-orientated psychological theories. Central to such works are mutually beneficial relationships between scholarly activists and communities. In considering such collaborations, the relevance of the Confucian concept of Ren (benevolent, human-heartedness) to allyship is clear. This approach features a Chine…
Pornography, preference for porn‐like sex, masturbation, and men's sexual and relationship satisfaction
Pornography use, preference for “porn‐like” sex, masturbation, and sexual and relationship satisfaction were assessed among two samples of men ( N Study 1 = 326, N Study 2 = 335). Frequent pornography use was associated with sexual dissatisfaction, greater preference for porn‐like sex, and more frequent masturbation in both studies. Pornography use was associated with relationship dissatisfaction in Study 2 only. The data did not support the noti…

Dying and relational aftermath concerns among terminal cancer patients in China
The need to make sense of one's mortality is of central concern for death studies. We aimed to explore the meaning of aftermath concerns in the process of preparing for death. Using a qualitative approach, we explored aftermath concerns among 25 participants with terminal cancer in China. Three aftermath concern themes were developed from the participants' narratives: mental concerns about parents, material concerns about children, and spiritual …
Supporting Sustainable Livelihoods through Wildlife Tourism

Fang-tan in research among Chinese communities in New Zealand and Australia
This article proposes Fang-tan as a cultural approach to engagement in psychology research among Chinese communities in New Zealand and Australia. Fang-tan reflects the degree of “being-in-relation” throughout the research process. The article suggests that being-in-relation as a concept is a form of cultural engagement that enables the researcher easier and more culturally appropriate access to research participants. Fang-tan comprises two Chine…
Problem gambling and help seeking among Chinese international students
This article uses examples of problem gambling and help seeking among Chinese international students in New Zealand to demonstrate place identity transformation. Two-wave narrative interviews were conducted with 15 Chinese international students. Place identity among participants is shown to be a process that features the transformation of participants' identity. While the casinos in which the Chinese international students gambled gave rise to n…
Multiple Senses of Community Among Older Chinese Migrants to New Zealand
Existing literature suggests that successful ageing is linked to a sense of community (SOC) that is developed through shared daily practices. For migrant groups, SOC can extend across home and receiving countries. In order to understand the issue of successful ageing in place and multiple SOCs among older Chinese migrants, this paper investigated 32 older Chinese migrants' narratives of developing a SOC in their local and home communities. Findin…

Art in health and identity
This paper explores older Chinese immigrants visual narratives on the value and impact of paintings beyond aesthetic merit and the role art plays in their health, wellbeing and identity construction. Immigration to a new culture in old age gives rise to experiences of biographical disruption and status-discrepancy, which often invokes isolation, anxiety, and a sense of dislocation and loss. Findings reveal that art-making aids the participants in…
