Parental Gatekeeping Measure: Adaptation and Validation of the Maternal Gatekeeping Measure in Study of Polish Mothers and Fathers
To Exist is a Form of Resistance: Photography as Art Activism
Photography has long been associated with acts of resistance. In this interview, Sarah Allen, Head of Programme and co-curator of the exhibition Acts of Resistance: Photography, Feminisms and the Art of Protest at the South London Gallery, elaborates on the reasoning behind the show. The show includes works from 2012 to the present day, offering what The Guardian newspaper described as 'a visual manifesto of the fourth wave of feminism'. The artw…
Effects of delayed testing on decisions to stop learning
This study explores whether people’s preference to restrict to-be-learned material is influenced by memory test timing. In Experiments 1a and 2a, participants studied word lists. For control groups, lists were displayed in their entirety, whereas participants in other groups could stop the lists early. We investigated whether participants decided to terminate learning when they expected their free-recall memory to be tested after a short (Experim…
A latent profile analysis of psychosocial factors and trauma exposure in U.K. students and their association with mental health and academic persistence
Given that there is a large proportion of students in higher education reporting previous traumatic experiences, trauma-informed principles are warranted, with a focus on supporting staff to understand the impact of trauma on students' experiences, in an inclusive and nonjudgmental way. This study provides a model of the factors involved in fostering psychological well-being and positive university experiences for students who have experienced tr…
The Báa nnilah Program: Results of a Chronic-Illness Self-Management Cluster Randomized Trial with the Apsáalooke Nation
Indigenous people in Montana are disproportionately affected by chronic illness (CI), a legacy of settler colonialism. Existing programs addressing CI self-management are not appropriate because they are not consonant with Indigenous cultures in general and the Apsáalooke culture specifically. A research partnership between the Apsáalooke (Crow Nation) non-profit organization Messengers for Health and Montana State University co-developed, implem…
Cross-species Harmony: Horses and Humans Co-Creating and Immersed in Shared Worlds
Despite efforts to democratize horse/human relations, conceptions of harmony between horses and humans continue to privilege the human’s will, even in more progressive models of horsemanship. Using the tenets of Object-Oriented Ontology, this paper explores the ways in which nonhuman animal autonomy might condition cross-species connections and make harmony possible. While Object-Oriented Ontology acknowledges that all things withdraw from all th…
Exercise referral scheme participant characteristics, referral mode and completion status
Objective: There is recent evidence that exercise referral schemes (ERSs) are beginning to permit self-referral access. Notwithstanding this, to date it is unknown whether key referral characteristics, such as age, gender and socioeconomic status are associated with a greater likelihood of self-referring to an ERS, and whether self-referral participants are more or less likely to complete schemes, than traditional healthcare referrals. Design/Set…
Developing and Implementing a Culturally Consonant Treatment Fidelity Support Plan with the Apsáalooke Nation
Treatment fidelity remains underreported in health intervention research, particularly among Indigenous communities. One explanation for this gap is the lack of culturally consonant strategies listed in the National Institutes of Health (NIH) Behavior Change Consortium (BCC) treatment fidelity framework, the gold standard for understanding and measuring fidelity. This paper focuses on the development and implementation of a culturally consonant t…
Considering the Roles of Children and Finances in the Divorce Decision-Making Process
Deciding to divorce can be confusing, with a clear path moving forward elusive. We conducted a qualitative content analysis of 30 interviews of individuals deciding whether to divorce to gain a better understanding of the role that children and finances play in this process. Key findings include that children and finances are not only reasons to stay in a marriage (barriers to divorce) but are also reasons people give for why they are interested …
The Impact of Identity on Divorce Decision-Making: A Grounded Theory Study
We examine the role that identity plays in the divorce decision-making process according to interviews with wave one respondents of the National Divorce Decision-Making study. Our sample (n = 30) consisted of men and women who were actively thinking about getting divorced. We present the results of a grounded theory approach to understanding the process of thinking about divorce and the role one’s identity may play in that decision-making process…
Facilitators and barriers to social distancing for young people during the Covid-19 pandemic
These findings suggest that the actions and endorsement of peers and the physical design of environments have a key role in influencing social distancing behaviour among young people living in NI. The COM-B factors identified in this study can inform the development of tailored interventions using models such as the Behaviour Change Wheel. The findings of this study suggest that intervention functions based on peer modelling and physical environm…
The historical legacy of waterscape changes in Can Tho, Vietnam and the social implications on water access today
This paper examines historical legacies left on the Mekong Delta's waterscape during French colonization in Vietnam and the implications this has had on the complex ways peri‐urban residents access water today for diverse purposes. French colonialism began constructing various transportation networks and extensive canal systems, all resulting in changes to farming village dynamics. Today, the Delta is home to active citizens who have the historic…
What are the underlying reasons behind socioeconomic differences in doctor‐patient communication in head and neck oncology review clinics
OBJECTIVE: To explore socioeconomic status (SES) differences in patterns of doctor-patient communication within head and neck cancer clinics and why such differences exist. METHODS: Thirty-six head and neck cancer review appointments with five Physicians were observed and audio-taped, along with follow-up interviews involving 32 patients. Data were analysed using Thematic Analysis, and compared by patient SES (education, occupation and Indices of…
Teaching citizen scientists to categorize glitches using machine learning guided training
Existing literature points to scaffolded training as an effective yet resource-intensive approach to help newcomers learn and stay motivated. Experts need to select relevant learning materials and continuously assess learners' progress. Peer production communities such as Wikipedia and Open Source Software Development projects face the additional problem of turning volunteers into productive participants as soon as possible. To address these chal…
Force, Drive, Desire: A Philosophy of Psychoanalysis
Fictionality in Early and Medieval China
Although there is no explicit concept of fictionality in early and medieval China, one can find expressions of what might be identified as fiction across various genres, including philosophical writing, poetry, and semi-or pseudo-historical narrative tales. Allen and Chen argue that fictionality need not be articulated as such in order to be present, and that readers in early and medieval China could recognize and enjoy the indeterminacy that mar…
Socio‐economic differences in patient participation behaviours in doctor–patient interactions—A systematic mapping review of the literature
Water scarce or water abundant? The case of Can Tho, Vietnam
Demand for water resources has increased globally along with concerns over its protection, usage and potential scarcity. The location of abundant water sources do not always coincide with where large quantities of people reside. As such, many regions live with the threat of water shortages. Interpretations of water scarcity from international, national and regional scales of analysis are projected onto water availability at the local scale due to…
Improving chronic illness self-management with the Apsáalooke Nation: Development of the Báa nnilah program
The Roles of Love and Happiness in Divorce Decision Making
Little is known about divorce decision making, the process of deciding whether to divorce when a marriage is distressed. The focus of this qualitative study was to explore the roles of love and happiness—two Western ideals that govern contemporary marital processes—in divorce decision making. Married participants (N = 30) with recent thoughts about divorce were interviewed about their conceptions of love and happiness in their decision-making pro…
Reading the Other: Ethics of Encounter
Most scholarly fields, at least in the humanities, have been asking the same questions about the politics of encounter for hundreds of years: Should we try to find a way to encounter an other without appropriating it, without imposing ourselves on it? Is encountering‐without‐appropriating even possible? These questions are profuse and taken up with intense interest in scholarship about the personal essay, specifically, which has often been credit…
Work Interference with Dinnertime as a Mediator and Moderator Between Work Hours and Work and Family Outcomes
Using a sample of U.S. IBM employees who are parents (N = 1,580), the authors evaluated whether work interference with dinnertime mediates and moderates the relationship between work hours and work, personal, and family outcomes. The negative relationships between work hours and success in personal life, relationships with spouse/partner and children, and the perception of an emotionally healthy workplace were mediated by work interference with d…
Defining and conceptualizing workplace flexibility
We first compare and contrast current conceptualizations of workplace flexibility in order to arrive at a definition in harmony with its contemporary use: 'the ability of workers to make choices influencing when, where, and for how long they engage in work-related tasks'. Next, we situate workplace flexibility in its theoretical contexts to provide researchers with a clearer understanding of what workplace flexibility is, what its mechanisms of o…
