Online child sexual victimization and associated health risk behaviours and mental disorders: Findings from a national survey in Australia
Online child sexual victimization (OCSV) is increasingly prevalent, but little evidence exists about associated health outcomes. This study investigates whether two types of OCSV – nonconsensual sharing of sexual images, and sexual solicitation by an adult – are associated with health risk behaviours and mental disorders. This study analyzed data from the Australian Child Maltreatment Study (ACMS), a nationally representative cross-sectional surv…
Annual Research Review: Psychosis in children and adolescents – a call to action: a commentary on Kelleher (2025)
The spectrum of psychosis is highly relevant to child and adolescent mental health. Psychotic symptoms are common in children and adolescents. The onset of psychotic disorders is often preceded by neurodevelopmental problems in early childhood, and some 13% of adolescents attending specialist mental health services will later be diagnosed with a psychotic disorder or bipolar disorder. Although 12% of psychotic disorders and 8% of schizophrenia ca…
The Interpersonal Antecedents of Attachment Security in Early Adulthood
Background/Objectives : The relevance of adult attachment security for physical and emotional wellbeing is increasingly evident. Developing a better understanding of the interpersonal antecedents of secure attachment in childhood and adolescence could enable opportunities for its promotion when attachment styles are more easily modifiable. Methods : Data from 3648 participants in a longitudinal birth cohort study were examined. At 21 years, parti…

The unique role of adolescent internalizing and externalizing problems, and maternal-adolescent communication in their association with attachment in early adulthood
Attachment styles influence mental health and relationships through life. Few studies examine the adolescent factors associated with adult attachment styles. This paper examines the association between adolescent emotional and behavioral problems and maternal-adolescent communication with attachment style in early adulthood. Data from 3423 participants in a birth cohort study were examined. At 14-years, participants' mothers completed the Parent-…

The prevalence of corporal punishment in Australia: Findings from a nationally representative survey
Corporal punishment is associated with adverse outcomes; however, little empirical data exists about the state of corporal punishment in Australia. This paper presents the first national prevalence estimates of experiences of corporal punishment during childhood among Australians and its use as adults by Australian parents and caregivers. We also report community beliefs about the necessity of corporal punishment. Results show corporal punishment…
Peripheral voices: Women in international trade scholarship
We ask how women are faring in the field of international trade both as knowledge producers and as policy-makers, with a focus on the former. This is an important question in light of the increased, if belated, attention paid to the gendered impact of international trade rules and of the gendered nature of academia. Using article publishing as a proxy for international trade scholarship, we create a unique dataset consisting of trade-related arti…

The National Strategic Framework for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Peoples' Mental Health and Social and Emotional Wellbeing identifies building a strong Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander led evidence-base to inform care as a key priority. Aboriginal and/or Torres Strait Islander adolescents in contact with the criminal justice system are a highly vulnerable group of Australians, with substantial unmet needs. There is limited evidence…
Substance use confounds associations between peer victimization and aggression in adolescence with mental disorders in adulthood: A prospective birth cohort study
INTRODUCTION: Peer victimization and aggression in adolescence are associated with later mental health morbidity. However, studies examining this association have not controlled for adolescent substance use. We aimed to study the associations between peer victimization, peer aggression, and mental disorders in adulthood, adjusting for substance use in adolescence. METHODS: Participants were from the prospective Northern Finland Birth Cohort 1986.…

Do cannabis and amphetamine use in adolescence predict adult life success: A longitudinal study
Background While some studies have reported that early age of onset of cannabis and amphetamine use predicts a range of adverse outcomes, these findings are rarely adjusted for other predictors of adverse outcomes or subsequent drug use over the adult life course. These studies have not addressed the possibility that it is subsequent rather than early age of onset of drug use that may predict adult life success.Methods Data are from the Mater-Uni…

Contemporary Capitalism and the Distribution of Power in Society
This article examines Weber’s partial and fragmentary discussions of power and domination. It reconstructs a basis for Weber’s argument through introducing ideas of persuasive and coercive influence and shows how Weber examined these forms of power in structures of class and status and in views of state authority and patterns of domination in economic markets. It is shown that the Weberian conceptualization can illuminate many ongoing debates in …

Sexual‐moral attitudes, love styles, and mate selection
Students at a southwestern university were surveyed to test the interrelations of three constructs: sexual‐moral attitudes, love styles, and attraction criteria. Following the procedures of the National Health and Social Life Survey, from which the sexual‐moral attitude items were obtained, we conducted a cluster analysis to create attitudinal groupings. We obtained four clusters representing various nuances of liberalism and conservatism. When c…
Social Network Analysis: Methods and Applications
Capital and Communication in Scottish Business
This paper presents a conceptual model of the business system in terms of its two constituent parts: the exchange network and the communication network. This model is applied to the Scottish economy and an analysis of the Scottish business system is given. It is argued that whilst Scottish capital is predominantly owned by English interests, the network of interlocking directorships shows the relative autonomy of Scottish business within the Brit…
Trends in Interlocking Directorships: An International Comparison
This paper critically examines Gustavsen's argument that the extent of interlocking in company directorships is dependent on the level of organization in the corporate environment. Gustavsen's analysis of Nor way and Sweden is compared with time-series data for Scotland from 1906 to 1973. The trend in the figures seems to contradict Gustavsen's argu ment, since the overall level of interlocking has decreased whilst the complexity of the environme…

Two sides to the story: Adolescent and parent views on harmful intention in defining school bullying
Bullying is defined as repeated negative actions involving a power differential, and intention to harm. There is limited research on harmful intention as a definitional component. This study explored the role of the perpetrator's harmful intention and the target's perception of harmful intention. Some 209 students (M = 14.5 years; 66.5% female) and 447 parents (M = 46.4 years; 86.4% female) were randomly assigned in an online survey. Participants…

This paper outlines the basic principles arising from a polysystemic theory of agonistic behavior in nonhuman animals and the practical implications of these principles to the problem of the control of undesirable and injurious forms of human violence. A major conclusion is that one of the most effective methods of establishing and maintaining habits of constructive and peaceful behavior is employment in useful and rewarding occupations
Social capital and cannabis supply
The distribution of cannabis in Australia is examined with reference to motivations for supplying drugs. We argue that the distribution of cannabis in Australia is best understood with reference to the concept of social supply, where a supplier, not considered to be a 'drug dealer proper', brokers, facilitates or sells drugs, for little or no financial gain to friends and acquaintances. The article draws on data from surveys and interviews with 2…
Program Evaluation of “Young at Heart: Examining Elderly Volunteers' Generativity
We conducted a program evaluation study of “Young at Heart,” a Texas (United States) program that places elderly volunteers in childcare settings. The main constructs evaluated in this research-based article are Erikson's generativity (a motivation to guide younger generations) and life satisfaction. We compared four groups of elderly persons on these constructs: Young at Heart volunteers, Meals on Wheels volunteers (who deliver food to other eld…
Software Review: A Toolkit for Social Network Analysis
The general principles of social network analysis have recently been reviewed in a special issue of Acta Sociologica, and an excellent article by Mark Mizruchi (1994) introduces some of the basic themes and ideas. Many people, however, find this a daunting area to consider, being put off by the mathematics and not knowing quite how to begin to learn the ideas that they need for their applications. My aim in this paper is to indicate the basic too…

Critical Periods in the Development of Social Behavior in Puppies
The existence of a critical period for the establishment of primary social relationships is a well-established phenomenon in social animals. This paper has dealt with the physical and hereditary basis of the critical period in the dog. Normal social development in the puppy can be divided into several periods based on changes in social relationships. Several of these may be critical, but the most important is that of primary socialization, beginn…

Genetics and the development of social behavior in mammals
This paper summarizes recent work on the development of social behavior in animals, together with some evaluation of the results in relation to human problems. Social development results in the formation of social relationships, and the time when the first social attachments are formed is a critical period in determining the nature of these and future relationships. Heredity produces important differences in development both within and between sp…
Biology and human aggression
Book reviewed in this article: Agonistic behavior is defined as a system of related behavior patterns having the common function of adaptation to situations of conflict between members of the same species. It is highly probable that biological bases for this kind of behavior do exist for the various species. It is equally probable, however, that because of man's unique genetic composition no direct analogies from any other species to man are just…

Violence and the disaggregated society
This paper reviews the evidence that social disaggregation is a major cause of destructive violence in non-human animal societies. The multifactorial theory of agonistic behavior is modified into a polysystemic theory which relates factors on each level to each other in an integrated model. As a result, it is suggested that disaggregation of systems on any level may lead to maladaptive violence. On theoretical grounds it is concluded that disaggr…
