Overprotective Parenting
Background and Objectives Overprotective parenting (OP) is defined as parents' inclination to take over children's tasks, overinvolvement in children's self‐direction and decision‐making, and interfering in age‐appropriate autonomy. Past studies have focused on impacts of OP on child mental health and well‐being, but few have considered what social circumstances could produce parents' OP. The aim of the current study was to investigate parents' p…
Communities Need to Lead”
The disparate outcomes experienced by children, young people, and families within Australia’s social, educational, and health, services are widely reported, with data reflecting that similar populations experience consistently poorer outcomes. As disparities occur across traditional service boundaries, beyond what individual provider or sector can address, it is critical to understand and intervene at the service systems-level, ie., the interacti…
Diversity-receptiveness in higher education
Despite recent developments in diversity climate research, few studies have explicitly examined perceived multicultural norms within educational contexts. This paper describes the construction and validation of the Normative Multiculturalism Scale for Educational Institutions (NMS-EI). Grounded in social, political, and acculturation psychology, the three-factor structure—Multicultural Ideology (MI), Multicultural Contact (MC), and Multicultural …
What does the Service System Know about the Community it Serves? A Grey Literature Review of Children, Young People, and Families Experiencing Place-based Disadvantage
Place of residence significantly influences health, well-being, and quality of life. This study reviewed the grey literature using evidence mapping and thematic analyses to identify, describe, and synthesise service system knowledge concerning children and families experiencing place-based disadvantage. Twenty-four documents were reviewed and four key themes identified (1) infrastructure and safety; (2) access and navigation of services; (3) gaps…
Statistics anxiety or statistics fear? A reinforcement sensitivity theory perspective on psychology students’ statistics anxiety, attitudes, and self-efficacy
This research investigates the role of reinforcement sensitivity theory (RST) in statistics education among two distinct samples of undergraduate psychology students. In Study 1, 318 students in a third-year statistics course completed self-report measures of RST, anxiety, attitudes, and self-efficacy concerning the study of statistics. In Study 2, 577 students from first-, second-, and third-year statistics courses participated. Controlling for …
Project Yarn Circle
Background Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander young people experience markedly higher suicide mortality than non-Indigenous youth in Australia, yet there is little evidence of effective preventative strategies. Many are misaligned to the needs of First Nations young people due to a lack of consideration of protective factors such as community and cultural connection. Objective To date no research has examined whether increasing cultural connec…
Examining acculturation at the daily level
The present article reviews the growing literature on micro-level (daily or situation-specific) acculturation processes and provides new empirical evidence regarding the link between macro-level (general) and micro-level acculturation indices. The review covers the evolution of acculturation theory and research to focus on separate heritage and destination cultural dimensions and on specific domains (e.g., practices, values, identifications), to …
Cultural Stressors and Cultural Identity Styles Among Hispanic College Students
Research shows that cultural identity styles (CIS; i.e., hybrid identity style [HIS] vs. alternating identity style [AIS]) and cultural stressors (i.e., discrimination, negative context of reception, and bicultural stressors) are associated, but the directionality of this association remains unclear. Using a 2-wave, self-report dataset and a cross-lagged design, we examined the directionality of the associations between cultural stressors and CIS…

Background: Suicide is the third leading cause of death among youth aged 15 to 29 years old globally. Guyana has the highest rate of youth suicide in the world, yet only limited research exists. Aim: The aim of this study is to identify key features of the suicide pathway for Guyanese children and youth and to distinguish meaningful subgroups. Method: The psychological autopsy (PA) method was used to generate life charts for 15 Guyanese children …
Enhancing equitable inclusion for the Pasifika diaspora in mainstream Australia, using Pasifika methodologies within higher education and community settings
Purpose This paper identifies the value of Indigenous processes in developing a reciprocal working relationship between a Pasifika grass roots community organisation, Pasifika Church and an Australian university. The focus is on the capacity of Indigenous methodologies to authentically attain equity, diversity and inclusion, during the development of stakeholder partnerships, particularly when there are power and resource imbalances between parti…
Provision of gender affirming care among medical and allied health practitioners
Gender diverse patients (including gender diverse, transgender, and non-binary people) deserve quality health care, which has been referred to as gender affirming care. Given that practitioners' attitudes and competence can influence their provision of gender affirming care, this study used a lens of transnormativity (Bradford & Syed, 2019; Johnson, 2016) to develop a measure of practitioners' transnormative beliefs. The aim of the study was to d…
Exploring the links between perceptions of protection and control online and social connectedness among socially anxious youth
A growing area of research has begun to explore the opportunities that social media and the Internet provide for social connection. In contributing to this literature, the current study aimed to examine links between young adults’ perceptions of protection and control in the online environment, social Internet use, and social connectedness. Furthermore, as online communication has been suggested to be beneficial for those who are socially anxious…
Mapping the service system that supports children and families in the context of place-based-disadvantage
There is strong evidence to suggest that children are negatively impacted by growing up in places where there are high levels of disadvantage present. However, these children can reap substantial developmental benefits (even more so than those who do not experience disadvantage) from access to and engagement with community and social services supporting health, education, and wellbeing. Yet, due to the complexity of service provision, access, and…

Distinct trajectories of psychological distress among resettled refugees
Refugees can experience elevated levels of psychological distress upon resettlement, although disparate outcomes over time are expected. The current study modeled trajectories of changes in distress over a 5-year period among resettled refugees and sought to explicate post-settlement factors that influence distress over time. A large-scale sample of refugees resettled in Australia (2,399) was tracked over a 5-year period, completing measures of p…
What Predicts Online Disinhibition? Examining Perceptions of Protection and Control Online and the Moderating Role of Social Anxiety
With the pervasive nature of social media and Internet use among young adults, researchers have begun to explore experiences of online disinhibition, defined as reductions in restraint in online versus face-to-face settings. In contributing to this literature, this study aimed to test whether perceptions of the Internet as a place where one has the ability to be invisible, anonymous, and exercise control over interactions promotes greater online …
The Conditional Effects of Parental Internet Supervision on Online Victimization for Early Adolescent Boys
Cyberbullying victimization is a key risk factor facing contemporary young men. Parental internet supervision is thought to be effective in mitigating these risks in mixed-gender samples, but the efficacy of internet supervision for young men specifically is unclear. This study examined the effects of internet supervision upon cybervictimisation among adolescent boys in an all-boys school (Mage = 13.44), moderated by internet use and availability…
Social connections during physical isolation
Measures implemented to combat the spread of COVID-19 have included stay-at-home orders, social distancing, and self-isolation, all of which have limited in-person interactions. Given the key role of technology in maintaining social connections during this period, the current study examined the experiences of young adults who shifted from predominantly offline to online interaction with friends during COVID-19. Specifically, we investigated wheth…

Online Social Connection as a Buffer of Health Anxiety and Isolation During Covid-19
COVID-19 has given rise to a myriad of social, psychological, and health-related complications. The specific mental health implications of COVID-19 are still being uncovered, but we know that there are likely to be negative outcomes for many people. This is particularly the case for vulnerable members of the community, such as those with high health anxiety, and under conditions where individuals feel isolated or disconnected from others. The obj…
The Measure of Online Disinhibition (MOD)
Trajectories of Substance Use and Well‐being in Early and Middle Adolescence Shaped by Social Connectedness
Increasing substance use and decreasing well-being are typical in adolescence, yet how social contexts shape disparate development during this time is less well-understood. A latent growth class analysis was conducted that identified groups of early (N = 706; Age m = 12.20) and middle (N = 666; Age m = 14.38) adolescents distinguished by rates of substance use and well-being over three years. In both cohorts, the largest group reported low substa…
Contemporary friendships and social vulnerability among youth
The prevalence of internet-connected devices in everyday life means that social interactions now frequently take place online. However, for socially vulnerable youth, it may be particularly important to examine distinctions between online and offline contexts of friendships. The current study sought to increase understanding of friendships in the digital era by exploring the associations of social anxiety and loneliness with frequency of interact…

A Question of Balance
The paper addresses criticisms of contemporary acculturation research by adopting a mixed method approach (open-ended survey responses, interviews, focus groups and projective techniques) to the study of the acculturation experiences of Muslim youth in New Zealand. The research explores: 1) the meaning, definition and achievement of success; 2) the process of negotiating multiple social identities; and 3) the graphic representation of identity. T…
Immigration and Multiculturalism in Context
Multiculturalism is a hotly debated issue in today's global arena. Much of the controversy arises due to different understandings of the term in public and political discourse. We argue that multiculturalism has three core components—diversity, ideology, and policy—and that heterogeneous cultural groups in multicultural societies are ultimately seeking social justice, but in different ways. Moving beyond the broad social science research to the i…

Is bullying bad for your health? The consequences of bullying perpetration and victimization in childhood on health behaviors in adulthood
Purpose – The purpose of this paper is to examine whether young people who bully others in childhood (aged seven to 12 years old) go on to have worse health outcomes than non-bullies 39 years later. Furthermore, four categories of engagement in bullying behaviors (bully, victim, bully-victim, and not involved) were compared in order to assess differences in health and well-being in late adulthood. Design/methodology/approach – A sample of 305 tea…

The relationships between religiosity, stress, and mental health for Muslim immigrant youth
Acculturation, or the process of change that takes place as a result of intercultural contact, can cause a range of stressors. The task of managing this acculturative stress is particularly difficult for Muslim immigrants in Western contexts due to the global rise of Islamophobia. Research investigating the experiences of young migrant Muslims has found inconsistent results regarding the moderating influences of religious identity and religious p…
