Australian university student coping profiles and psychosocial distress
Compared to the general population, university students experience unique demands and stressors that impact psychosocial distress.High levels of psychosocial distress can affect students academically, socially, and professionally.Strategies students use to cope with stress on their own, particularly problem-and emotion-focused strategies, can decrease distress levels.While individual coping strategies can lower distress, it remains unclear which …
The relationship between university student help-seeking intentions and well-being outcomes
University represents a time of both great uncertainty and change as well as a time of opportunity and learning. University students represent a population both at a higher risk of experiencing poor mental health and diagnosis and a population with relatively greater access and communication of both mental health literacy resources and mental health support services. Despite this, we consistently see low intention of help-seeking for mental healt…
Food insecurity during Covid ‐19
The aim of this study was to describe the prevalence, severity, coping strategies and precipitating factors of food insecurity in university students in a large multi-campus Australian university during the COVID-19 lockdown in 2020, in context of providing information to inform institutional support. This was a cross-sectional analysis which was part of a larger university-led research project, the Thrive@Home study conducted at Monash Universit…
Impact of the Covid-19 Lockdown in Malaysia
Background: The COVID-19 pandemic lockdowns have adversely impacted children on the autism spectrum and their families, especially in Malaysia where this population is often marginalized. The current quantitative research aimed to investigate the impact of the Malaysian COVID-19 lockdown on the behavior and psychological distress of children formally diagnosed with an autism spectrum condition (ASC) as well as the psychological distress and well-…
Addressing Depression Symptoms among University Students under Covid-19 Restrictions—The Mediating Role of Stress and the Moderating Role of Resilience
Social isolation during the pandemic may contribute to depression symptoms both directly and through elevated stress levels. As an internal strength, resilience may buffer the adverse effects of isolation and stress on depression symptoms. Targeted interventions including mindfulness and physical exercise training may provide promising results in reducing depression symptoms among university students and should be considered by university adminis…
Identifying Predictors of University Students’ Wellbeing during the Covid-19 Pandemic—A Data-Driven Approach
To cost-effectively support student wellbeing through 2021 and beyond, universities should consider investing in internet- and tele- based interventions explicitly targeting perceived social isolation among students. Course-based online forums as well as internet- and tele-based logotherapy may be promising candidates for improving students' psychological wellbeing
Cognitive processes in children's reading and attention
Children experiencing attention difficulties have documented cognitive deficits in working memory (WM), response inhibition and dual tasks. Recent evidence suggests however that these same cognitive processes are also closely associated with reading acquisition. This paper therefore explores whether these variables predicted attention difficulties or reading among 123 children with and without significant attention problems sampled from the schoo…
The nature of attentional differences between groups of children differentiated by teacher ratings of attention and hyperactivity
Two groups of children, one with good attention and low hyperactivity and the other with poor attention and high hyperactivity, were formed on the basis of teachers' ratings. The groups were tested on a large number of tests of attentional performance, covering selective attention, divided attention, sustained attention and executive function. Analysis of group differences, with verbal and non-verbal intelligence controlled statistically, indicat…
