Validation of the Mandarin-Chinese Teacher Well-Being Scale and Development of a Chinese Context-Specific Extension
This study validated the Mandarin-Chinese Teacher Well-Being Scale (TWBS) and developed a context-specific extension (CS-TWBS) to capture culturally grounded dimensions of teacher well-being in China. Two studies were conducted with samples of in-service and former Chinese teachers. Study 1 evaluated the psychometric properties of the translated TWBS using exploratory and confirmatory factor analyses, reliability testing, and measurement invarian…

The platform politics of hateful play on Twitch
In this essay, we argue that the term “hate raiding” requires clearer definition within digital platform studies scholarship to combat efforts to apply the term to anti-brand protests (Murphy & Jarrett 2024). To render our definition, we use critical game studies scholarship (Trammell 2023, Giddings & Harvey 2018) to analyze how the conditions of reciprocity and play on Twitch.tv (Twitch) produce the conditions for hate raids to occur as playful …
White Thinking: Diversity Fails in Scottish Heritage
This article considers how the Scottish heritage sector has responded to allegations that it is part of larger infrastructures for imagining, centring, and privileging the reproduction of whiteness. It traces key debates about Scottish identity over the past two decades before exploring a number of recent projects within the heritage sector (in which one or both of the present authors have participated) that have sought to challenge the instituti…
Can boarding schools help looked after and vulnerable children improve academic attainment
The education of children in statutory care, or at the edge of care, is a serious concern for governments and policymakers. How to promote educational opportunities for these children can involve challenging and often contentious proposals. In this paper, we study one proposal put into practice in England: the provision to children who are in statutory care, or at the edge of care, with the opportunity to attend an independent boarding school. Th…
Long-Term Adverse Effects After Electroconvulsive Therapy (ECT): A Narrative Analysis Exploring People's Experiences, Meaning-Making, and Coping
Approximately 2500 people receive electroconvulsive therapy (ECT) annually in the United Kingdom; however, there is growing evidence of long-term adverse effects. Few studies have focused on people's experience of ECT, particularly over the long term. The experience of ECT is known to be complex, requiring qualitative exploration. Therefore, this study aimed to explore the long-term adverse experiences of ECT, including psychological impacts, mea…
Equine-Facilitated Psychotherapy (EFP) and Well-Being: Exploring the Experiences of UK Military Veterans Using a Dialogical Narrative Approach
Despite experiencing high rates of mental health and social difficulties, veterans face a range of internal and external barriers to accessing psychological therapy. Equine-facilitated psychotherapy (EFP) is a relatively new intervention, which a growing evidence base suggests can be effective, particularly for those who find it difficult to engage in traditional psychotherapies. EFP is underpinned by principles of psychodynamic psychotherapy, as…
Dispositional authenticity, facilitativeness, femininity ideology, and dyadic relationship functioning in opposite‐gender couples: Actor‐partner interdependence analysis
This prospective study examined (a) the mediating roles of Carl Rogers' facilitative interpersonal conditions (i.e., genuineness, empathic understanding, and unconditional positive regard) and (b) the moderating roles of femininity ideology in the association between dispositional authenticity and dyadic relationship functioning using a dyadic approach. Participants, 239 opposite‐gender couples, completed the Authenticity Scale, Barrett‐Lennard R…
Trauma-Informed Care Interventions Used in Pediatric Inpatient or Residential Treatment Mental Health Settings and Strategies to Implement Them: A Scoping Review
Trauma-informed care (TIC) is an approach to care emerging in research and in practice that involves addressing the needs of individuals with histories of trauma. The aim of this scoping review was to examine the current literature relating to TIC interventions used in pediatric mental health inpatient and residential settings. We sought to answer the following two research questions: (a) What are the TIC interventions used in pediatric inpatient…
Promoting ‘testicular awareness’: Co‐design of an inclusive campaign using the World Café Methodology
INTRODUCTION: Testicular cancer is the most common cancer in men aged 15-44 years in many countries. Most men with testicular cancer present with a lump. Testicular symptoms are more likely to occur secondary to benign diseases like epididymo-orchitis, a common sexually transmitted infection. Gender and sexual minorities are at an increased risk of testicular diseases and health disparities. The aim of this study was to co-design an inclusive com…
Codesign and Launch of ‘On the Ball’: An Inclusive Community‐Based ‘Testicular Awareness’ Campaign
INTRODUCTION: Increased awareness of testicular diseases can lead to early diagnosis. Evidence suggests that men's awareness of testicular diseases is low, with many expressing their willingness to delay help-seeking for symptoms of concern. The risk of testicular diseases is higher in gender and sexual minority groups. In this study, we discuss the codesign, refinement and launch of 'On the Ball', an inclusive community-based 'testicular awarene…
Bodies, Brands, and Bullies: Culture Jamming and the Livestreaming of Engagement
This article uses a case study of an anti-brand protest that was livestreamed on Twitch to develop a media and cultural studies framework for conceptualizing livestreaming platforms as mechanisms that extract engagement and discoverability value from cultural noise. It begins with a review of several fields of literature: branding, media activism, and culture jamming; livestreaming and affective labor; and social media platforms, affective econom…
Development and validation of a 12-item version of the Barrett-Lennard Relationship Inventory (B-L RI: (Mini) using item response theory
The Barrett-Lennard Relationship Inventory (B-L RI; Barrett-Lennard, (2015). The Relationship Inventory A Complete Resource and Guide. http://nbn-resolving.de/urn:nbn:de:101:1-201602103917 ) is the most widely used measure of the facilitative conditions described by Carl Rogers as important for constructive personality development in his person-centered theory. At with 64 items it is however time consuming for participants to complete, and even i…

From Indy to ubiquity: Minecraft as platform and infrastructure
This article is about digital games, their evolving connections with platforms and infrastructures, and the influence that a decade of Minecraft’s development is having on this process. It begins with a discussion of previously disparate but increasingly convergent methodologies and literatures, including platform studies, media archeology, game studies, and cultural anthropological approaches to the study of infrastructure. Then, it applies poin…
Sucking Results Out of Children’ Reflective Lifeworld Case Study of a Primary School Teacher Striving for Authenticity
This qualitative study presents an analysis of the experiences of a teacher who had recently left working in an England state funded primary school. Using reflective lifeworld methodology, this study explored the teacher’s struggle to be authentic in the context of state funded education. Three prominent themes were identified as: 1) enhancement of every learner; 2) systemic oppression; and 3) tensions in being a teacher. The study concludes that…
Client-centred therapeutic relationship conditions and authenticity: A prospective study
The aim was to investigate the association between experiencing a therapeutic relationship and subsequent authenticity. Forty-six clients completed the Barrett–Lennard Relationship Inventory (B-LRI), Relational Depth Inventory (RDI), a measure of the therapeutic alliance (ARM-5) and the Authenticity Scale (AS) at intervals over 10 therapy sessions. Higher scores on the B-LRI at sessions 3, 5 and 10 were associated with an increase in authenticity…

Measurement Invariance of the English, Chinese, and Spanish Versions of the Barrett-Lennard Relationship Inventory
The Barrett-Lennard Relationship Inventory was designed to assess the extent to which a person experiences unconditional positive regard, empathic understanding, and genuineness in a relationship. This study (N = 1,286) investigated measurement invariance between English, Chinese, and Spanish language versions of the inventory and partial scalar invariance was established
Females have more complex patterns of childhood adversity: Implications for mental, social, and emotional outcomes in adulthood
Background: Adverse childhood experiences (ACEs) have been identified as an important public health problem with serious implications. Less well understood is how distinct configurations of childhood adversities carry differential risks for mental health, emotional, and social outcomes later in life.Objective: To determine if distinct profiles of childhood adversities exist for males and females and to examine if unique associations exist between…
Positive education: A new look at Freedom to Learn
Recent years have seen much interest in positive education. In this article, we will show how person-centred education, like positive education, is concerned with the promotion of human flourishing. Both offer ways in which education goes beyond traditional skills and knowledge to a concern for the well-being of people. However, we argue that an awareness of the scholarship of Carl Rogers, the author of Freedom to Learn and the originator of the …

Pedagogical devices as children’s social care levers: A study of social care workers’ attitudes towards boarding schools to care for and educate children in need
It has been proposed that boarding schools in England can be used to provide a stable education and care environment for vulnerable children in need, and the government is expanding their use. However, for vulnerable children to be placed in boarding schools, social workers will need to be willing to contemplate boarding as a viable care option. In this study we interviewed N = 21 social care practitioners including directors, senior and middle m…
A big, new Hitler? Capitalism, ‘Anglo-America’, and Hitler’s war
A new biography of Adolf Hitler contends that historians have overlooked Hitler’s obsessive hatred for capitalism, and challenges the dominant historiography by asserting that both the Führer’s own war aims as well as German military resources were focused overwhelmingly on the democratic regimes to his west rather than on the communist one to his east. This essay reviews the argument, critically interrogating the work’s source utilization as wel…
Africans filming Africa: Questioning theories of an authentic African cinema
The question of 'authenticity' has been at the heart of much critical thinking about African cinema. During the colonial era, cinematic images of Africa effectively served to reinforce the Western vision of the 'dark continent,' viewing Africa as a wild and savage place, existing outside of history. When African filmmakers began to emerge in the 1960s and 1970s, they set out to counter these demeaning Western representations of their continent. H…
Relationship-Based Social Work and Its Compatibility with the Person-Centred Approach: Principled versus Instrumental Perspectives
In recent years, there has been a resurgence of interest in social work towards relationship-based practice. In this article, we discuss the conceptualisation of relationship-based practice from a person-centred point of view and its applicability to contemporary social work. It will be shown that the person-centred point of view has a meta-theoretical basis that makes it incompatible with modern statutory social work practice. First, we outline …

Trauma: A Unifying Concept for Social Work
The aim is to show how traumatic stress provides a unifying concept for social work. In the last ten years, there have been significant changes in the nature of organisations that provide social care for people in the UK, with social work practice no longer confined to traditional local authority services. Increasingly, social workers are taking up posts in a variety of settings and sectors demanding new knowledge and skills. The field of traumat…
Tirailleur, facteur, anticolonialiste: La courte vie militante de Lamine Senghor (1924-1927)
Entre 1924 et sa mort prématurée en 1927, le Sénégalais Lamine Senghor devient une vedette du mouvement anticolonialiste. Le souvenir de sa contribution au mouvement anticolonialiste, ainsi qu’à la prise de conscience du monde noir, sera bientôt éclipsé par le succès de ceux qui l’ont suivi. Nous tenterons dans cet article de reconstruire son parcours militant. Ce qui nous intéresse le plus chez Lamine Senghor, c’est son engagement transnational,…
Person-Centered Approach, Positive Psychology, and Relational Helping: Building Bridges
It is more than 20 years since the death of one of the most influential American clinical psychologists of the 20th century, Carl Rogers, who founded the client-centered school more than 50 years ago. Client-centered psychology remains a distinctive and alternative approach because of its assertion that the organismic valuing process is the engine of therapeutic change and the attendant implications for nondirective practice. Many of its ideas ar…

The Rise of the Francophone Postcolonial Intellectual: The Emergence of a Tradition
Although discussions of the French intellectual often address engagement with anti-colonialism and the decolonisation process more generally, most notably in relation to the Algerian War of Independence, critical attention is rarely directed at the existence of a wider yet related intellectual culture that may connect the disparate parts of the French-speaking world. This article explores the rise of the postcolonial intellectual in this politico…

Archiving the Postcolonial City
The archive has emerged as a critical tool to conceptualise the heuristic value of history, heritage, and memory in debates on postcolonial futures. In this special issue, we take stock of the possibilities for the colonial and postcolonial archive to provide frameworks for the imagination of postcolonial futures.2 We posit that archival work in the postcolonial city may help retrace the past in order to reconfigure the future. In the current cli…

Unconditional Positive Self-Regard, Intrinsic Aspirations, and Authenticity: Pathways to Psychological Well-Being
Unconditional positive self-regard (UPSR) is regarded by humanistic psychologists as an important determinant of well-being. However, until recently, it has received little empirical attention. The current study aims to examine the association between UPSR and several key constructs consistent with the ideas of well-being within contemporary humanistic and positive psychology. Study 1 is a confirmatory factor analysis of the UPSR scale. The signi…
A Theory on Reports of Constructive (Real) and Illusory Posttraumatic Growth
It has been suggested that self-reported posttraumatic growth could sometimes be considered as a way for people to protect themselves from the distress of trauma. In this case, reports of posttraumatic growth could be illusory. We suggest a theory on self-reported constructive (real) posttraumatic growth and illusory posttraumatic growth by using Rogers’s theory and the work by Vaillant. Through this theoretical framework, we attempt to explain w…
Sport, culture and the media at the Festival Mondial des Arts Nègres de Dakar (2010): Sport and the democratisation of culture or sport as populism
In December 2010, Dakar hosted the Troisième Festival Mondial des Arts Nègres (FESMAN), which took for its main theme the notion of an ‘African Renaissance’. FESMAN sought to revive a highly utopian pan-Africanism that had been prevalent in the era of decolonisation from the 1950s to the 1970s, but it departed in significant ways from many of the ideas and values that had marked previous pan-African cultural festivals: FESMAN celebrated popular c…
Defending the ‘Negro race’: Lamine Senghor and black internationalism in interwar France
This article examines the career of Lamine Senghor, a Senegalese veteran of the First World War, who emerged in the mid 1920s as the most influential black anti-colonial activist of the period. Senghor combined a communist-inspired critique of empire with an attempt to forge a transnational sense of black identity. Many of the questions facing Senghor remain relevant today: should the black community seek equality through its own independent pres…

Hacking Public Memory: Understanding the Multiple Arcade Machine Emulator
This article uses a case study of the multiple arcade machine emulator (MAME) to insist that emulation is an important aspect of digital game culture that should not be dismissed due to copyright concerns. The author argues that emulators should be understood as ludic technologies produced by hacking practices that helped spawn and continue to permeate video game culture. Furthermore, while it may be tempting to describe the MAME as a "counter ar…
Between Socialism and Sufism: Islam in the Films of Ousmane Sembène and Djibril Diop Mambéty
The films of two of Senegal’s most acclaimed directors, the Marxist Ousmane Sembène and the maverick Djibril Diop Mambéty, illustrate a range of possibilities for engagement with Islam within the postcolonial Senegalese context. In Sembène’s Ceddo (1976) we see a critique of Islam from a modernist/modernising and African nationalist perspective. Mambéty’s Touki‐Bouki (1973) is imbued with a sceptical but distinctly Senegalese Sufi aesthetic and, …
Birth of a Nation? The Origins of Senegalese Literature in French
Although most critics chart Senegalese literary history from the 1930s and the rise of Negritude, there also exist a small number of texts from the 1850s-1020s that are usually classified as a sort of proto-Senegalese literature. This article focuses on Abbé David Boilat's Esquisses sénégalaises (1853) and Bakary Diallo's Force-bonté (1926), both of which occupy a deeply ambiguous position within the national literary canon because of their open …
Introduction: New Directions in Postcolonial Studies

Species Composition and Abundance of Zooplankton in the Nearshore Beaufort Sea in Winter-Spring
Zooplankton samples collected in winter-spring 1978-79 and in spring 1980 from under the sea ice at two sites near Prudhoe Bay, Alaska, were analyzed for species composition and abundance. Sixty-eight categories, including 48 species and 20 other categories where identification was made to genus or other higher taxonomic rank, were identified. Calanoid copepods were dominant under the ice. As spring progressed, however, other organisms, including…

In Defense of the Russian Infinitive
The overwhelming majority of Russian verbs are regular and represent productive verb types that are signalled by the shape of the infinitive. At the same time, the infinitive by itself is often an inadequate guide to conjugation affiliation. In such cases, one or more forms of the non-past tense have traditionally been provided to resolve the difficulty; often it is the form of the third person plural.' More recently, a single-stem system of anal…

Student Progress in Distance Education: Identification of Explanatory Constructs
This paper reports the testing and development of a model of student progress for distance education students. The constructs which have been used to explain drop-out in on-campus courses are not directly applicable to distance education. The Distance Education Students' Progress (DESP) inventory has been developed, containing four scales, made up from 17 subscales, which emerged from the factor analysis. The scales relate to approach to learning…

Building on the classification of manuscripts established in Mnemosyne 43 [1990], 316-40, this paper examines the relations among textual witness to the Charmides. Despite horizontal transmission of variants, the primary MSS. form a bipartite stemma: B|WQ || T (sc. Oxon. Bodl. Clarke 39, Vind. suppl. gr. 7, Par. gr. 1813, and Ven. Marc. gr. app. cl. 4.1). Against recent doubts, Q's independence is supported by its maiuscule errors that the first …
