Why do(n’t) interpreters do professional development
Professional development (PD) has become a regular, if not mandatory, activity in some occupations. Among interpreters, levels of interest in and rates of uptake of PD appear to vary. In Australia, PD was introduced as mandatory for newly certified interpreters in 2014. From 2019, PD became mandatory for all interpreters wishing to gain or retain the credential ‘certification’; this requirement remained optional only for those who retained the ol…
Exploring the role of dysfunctional attitudes and unhelpful thoughts in the relationship between personality traits and psychological distress in Australian University students
The impact of dysfunctional attitudes and unhelpful thinking upon clients presenting with personality-related psychological distress is an important clinical area of investigation as it informs psychological interventions.

Bivalent Fears of Evaluation in Social Anxiety
Fears of negative evaluation (FNEs) and fears of positive evaluation (FPEs) comprise a bivalent model of evaluation that can explain the aetiology and maintenance of Social Anxiety Disorder (SAD). In this study, we examined an extended version of this model which incorporates two related cognitive processes (concerns about reprisal and discounting of positive outcomes) as partial mediators of the effects of FNEs and FPEs. We built on earlier work…

Caregiving for Parkinson's Disease Patients
Extending the 2002 stress-appraisal model of Chappell and Reid, we examined the relationships between caregiver stressors (e.g., cognitive impairment and functional dependency of the recipient), appraisal (informal hours of caregiving), and protective factors (e.g., social support, self-esteem, and quality of the caregiver-recipient relationship) associated with the burden and quality of life of Parkinson's disease caregivers. There were 136 care…
