  • What machine learning teaches us about depression prediction across the life course

    Open AccessRafael Geurgas, Saul Newman et al.ARTICLESSM - Population Health2025

    Identifying individuals at risk for depression early is important for preventing long-term mental health issues. However, the variability in depression severity, duration, and triggers complicates predictions. This study explores whether machine learning models can outperform traditional methods, like Logistic Regression, in predicting self-reported depressive symptoms and clinical depression during adolescence and adulthood. We applied five mach…

  • Trajectories of childhood bullying behaviors and conduct problems

    Open AccessFrédéric Thériault-Couture, Frédéric Thériault‐Couture et al.ARTICLEDevelopmental Psychology2025

    Bullying behaviors and conduct problems are two forms of antisocial behavior that frequently co-occur in childhood. However, it remains unclear whether their developmental trajectories are distinct and the extent to which different aspects of cognitive functioning account for their development. We aimed to disentangle the developmental trajectories of bullying behaviors and conduct problems, test their interrelations across childhood, and assess …

  • The socioeconomic consequences of loneliness

    Open AccessBridget T Bryan, Kanani N Thompson et al.ARTICLESocial Science & Medicine2024Cited by: 2References: 45

    The negative health consequences of loneliness have led to increasing concern about the economic cost of loneliness in recent years. Loneliness may also incur an economic burden more directly, by impacting socioeconomic position. Much of the research to date has focused on employment status which may not fully capture socioeconomic position and has relied on cross-sectional data, leaving questions around the robustness of the association and reve…

  • Exploring the Relationship between Effective Parenting, Self-Control, and Adherence to the Police Code of Silence

    Christopher M Donner, Jon Maskaly et al.ARTICLEDeviant Behavior2020Cited by: 1References: 66

    Prior research has established that low self-control is significantly related to negative police behavior, but no known study has investigated the development of self-control in those individuals who become police officers, and its subsequent relationship to police misconduct. To that end, structural equation modeling is used to test the theoretical causal sequence linking effective parenting, self-control, and adherence to the police code of sil…

  • Preliminary Evidence for the Cognitive Model of Auditory Verbal Hallucinations in Youth With Borderline Personality Disorder

    Open AccessMarialuisa Cavelti, Kanani N Thompson et al.ARTICLEFrontiers in Psychiatry2019

    Objectives: This is the first study to explore cognitive, emotional, and behavioral responses to voices in youth with borderline personality disorder (BPD) compared with those with schizophrenia spectrum disorder (SZ), and to examine if negative appraisals of voices predict depression and anxiety across the groups. Methods: The sample comprised 43 outpatients, aged 15-25 years, who reported auditory verbal hallucinations (AVH) and were diagnosed …

  • Critical Reflection on the Ethics of Mindfulness

    Kanani N Thompson, Katherine Thompson et al.ARTICLEAustralian Social Work2017References: 2

    Mindfulness is a way to achieve mental wellbeing that has been widely adopted as part of counselling and mental health treatment. However, there is a distinct lack of critical reflection about the origins of this technique, how it is used, and the implications it has for the beliefs of clients. The purpose of this paper is to provide a carefully considered response to the use of humanistic mindfulness. Social workers need to explain why they reco…
