The power of the group: Enhancing wellbeing and positive mental health among teenagers
Background: Currently, a deficit model of mental health shapes children and young people’s experiences. Most UK interventions designed to improve mental health for this age group are adult led and dominated by a Western-driven medical model in which the emphasis is on individuals receiving mental health diagnoses. The voice of children and young people can be muted in this process. Methods: Research was completed using ethnographic-based particip…
Vietnam's Children in a Changing World
Like the majority of children living in the global South today, a large number of Vietnamese youths work to help support their families. International human rights organizations have focused on these children, seeking to bring their lives into line with an understanding of childhood that is generally accepted in the developed world. In this ethnographic study, Rachel Burr draws on her daily observations of working children in Hanoi and argues tha…
Rights and Wrongs of Children's Work
Global and local approaches to children's rights in Vietnam
The United Nations Convention on the Rights of the Child (CRC) assumes that children are universally the same. It can be argued that its provisions are weighted in favour of a modern, western sense of the individual.

A Structured Interview for the Assessment of the Five‐Factor Model of Personality: Facet‐Level Relations to the Axis II Personality Disorders
The Structured Interview for the Five‐Factor Model (SIFFM; Trull & Widiger, 1997) is an 120‐item semistructured interview that assesses both adaptive and maladaptive features of the personality traits included in the five‐factor model of personality, or “Big Five.” In this article, we evaluate the ability of SIFFM scores to predict personality disorder symptomatology in a sample of 232 adults (46 outpatients and 186 nonclinical college students).…
Shaming of the Anthropologist: Ethical Dilemmas during and in the Aftermath of the Fieldwork Process
This paper focuses on ethical dilemmas encountered during the fieldwork process. Questions are raised about the extent to which anthropologists should become involved in, and possibly alter, the experiences of the people they conduct participant observation among. Here it is argued that although much is written about ethics in anthropology, anthropologists do not make explicit clear guidelines concerning the level at which they should become invo…
