Helping engineering students become better learners: An action-state orientation-based intervention study
Background An explanation for student academic underperformance is a breakdown in their cognitive control ability reflected in the concept of action-state orientation. Students who are state-oriented struggle to stay on task and be successful. We conducted two studies to evaluate the effectiveness of an action-state orientation training intervention by surveying students who received it. In Study 1,435 engineering students who participated in the…
Well-Being and Academic Experiences in Bereaved University Students
Universities and researchers are increasingly interested in understanding and promoting the well-being of students. Bereaved students, in particular, face challenges related to grieving while studying, which can decrease their overall well-being. We conducted an online, cross-sectional survey design to investigate academic changes and support experiences post-bereavement and the influence of post-bereavement academic experiences on well-being and…
Differences in university experiences, support seeking, and mental well-being in Australian university students according to bereavement status
In Australia, nearly half of university students report high levels of distress during their studies. Bereavement increases a student's risk of mood changes, eating disorders, suicide, poorer academic achievement, and attrition. We used an online, quantitative, cross-sectional survey to investigate the prevalence of bereaved students in Australian universities and differences between bereaved and non-bereaved university students' mental well-bein…
Supporting bereaved students in higher education: Student perspectives
Bereavement is a universal experience common within the higher education student population. The present study aimed to understand the experiences and support needs of bereaved Australian university students. In semi-structured interviews, 12 students (10 women, 2 men; Mage = 38.13, SD = 15.37) shared their experiences of bereavement while studying. A thematic analysis resulted in three themes: Relationships between study and bereavement, Navigat…
Self-compassion as a moderator between clinical perfectionism and psychological distress
Measurement Invariance of Perfectionism Measures in Students with and without a History of Non-Suicidal Self-Injury
Perfectionism is a transdiagnostic process which may be implicated in the onset and maintenance of non-suicidal self-injury. No study has evaluated whether reported differences in perfectionism between individuals with and without a history of self-injury represent genuine group differences or measurement artefacts. The present study reports an investigation of the measurement invariance of two common scales of perfectionism, the Frost Multidimen…
Something that happens at home and stays at home”: An exploration of the lived experience of young carers in Western Australia
There are approximately 350,000 young carers in Australia, yet their experience is not well understood. Young carers face adversities and disenfranchisement by being a young person in a caring role, and the role can affect other areas of their lives. We explored the lived experiences of young carers, aged 14-25 years (N = 13), from Western Australia through in-depth semi-structured interviews. A phenomenological approach was adopted. A thematic a…
Race and U.S. medical experimentation: The case of Tuskegee
In 1932 the county seat of Macon County, Alabama -the small town of Tuskegee -was one of the poorest towns in the United States. It was (and remains) an area marked by old plantations, sawmills, beautiful forests, and hard-scrabble living for the predominately African-American population. In 1932 they made their living as sharecroppers, picking cotton in the surrounding fields for a median income of USD 1 per day. A 1929 study found a high incide…
