A Multilab Study of Bilingual Infants
From the earliest months of life, infants prefer listening to and learn better from infant-directed speech (IDS) than adult-directed speech (ADS). Yet, IDS differs within communities, across languages, and across cultures, both in form and in prevalence. This large-scale, multi-site study used the diversity of bilingual infant experiences to explore the impact of different types of linguistic experience on infants' IDS preference. As part of the …
The development of gaze following in monolingual and bilingual infants
Determining the meanings of words requires language learners to attend to what other people say. However, it behooves a young language learner to simultaneously encode relevant non‐verbal cues, for example, by following the direction of their eye gaze. Sensitivity to cues such as eye gaze might be particularly important for bilingual infants, as they encounter less consistency between words and objects than monolingual infants, and do not always …

Health, illness and spirituality symposium
The stereotypical fallacy
This study uses a community sample to compare Anglo and Chinese Australians' thoughts about three dimensions of facing terminal illness and death. The results conform to the anecdotal expectation that Anglo Australians are more likely to favour living wills, euthanasia and truth-telling about having a terminal illness than are Chinese Australians. These findings have relevance for health professionals, particularly those who are concerned with pr…
Female Sex Work, Non‐work Sex and Hiv in Perth
This study is based on repeated interviews with twelve heterosexual female commercial sex workers (SWs) in Perth. These informants deploy, with various degrees of success, strategies to demarcate ‘work‐sex’, with its socially ascribed stigma, from ‘non‐work sex’. Such strategies inhibit the spread of HIV at work but, ironically, increase the risk of HIV transmission during non‐work sex. SWs recognise this risk and construct a variety of rationale…
HIV and the Social World of Female Commercial Sex Workers
This research, based on repeated interviews with 12 female commercial sex workers (SWs) in Perth, Australia, attempts to explain why SWs in that city are not a source of transmitting HIV to clients during sexual intercourse. Perth SWs report that they routinely use condoms during work-sex. But it was also found that they are at risk of being infected with HIV through sexual intercourse with boyfriends and husbands because use of condoms during se…
Threats to the good death
This study uses Australian data based on interviews with nurses and participant observation in an in-patient hospice and a community based hospice service to demonstrate how hospice nurses perceive stress in their work environment and cope with caring for dying patients. Stressors are discussed within a cultural context and are viewed as threats to the nurses' shared system of values which centres on the Good Death. The Good Death is conceptualis…
The institutionalization of the good death
Research note
This study examines gender differences in the utilisation of health care services in a representative sample from the city of Perth, Australia. The data were collected through interviews. The usual result from such studies, females use health services more frequently than men, was not supported by the findings of this research. The multivariate scenario we formulate to interpret our findings is that the use of health care services is determined b…
The process of neutralisation and the uncertainties of cystic fibrosis
The epidemiological uncertainties of a terminal illness would seem to prohibit the ritual exchange of faith and hope between patient and medical personnel. However, after interviews with people involved in cystic fibrosis networks, I argue that there exists a process of neutralizing five epidemiological uncertainties of this disease: (1) aetiology; (2) genetics; (3) treatment; (4) societal reaction and (5) life expectancy. This process consists o…
Dying as Social Behavior
Distinction is made between biological, clinical, psychological and social death. In an analysis of death behavior of Mormons for 50 years it was found that their rate is consistently lower than that of the U.S. and Utah. However, it evidences essentially the same change patterns as these two other populations. Although some biases may be operating in the available statistics, Mormons are shown to be responsive to both their church and their soci…
