How do Mental Health Service Users and Staff Think the Cost-of-living Crisis Has Impacted Mental Health in England? A Qualitative Analysis
Economic variables such as debt can impact mental health. This study explored the impact of the cost-of-living crisis on mental health services users and staff, and aimed to identify potential support. Mental health service users and mental health service staff took part in interviews exploring the relationship between the cost of living and mental health, which were analysed thematically. Findings suggest that finances and mental health can be i…

Does Childhood Trauma Predict Impulsive Spending in Later Life? An Analysis of the Mediating Roles of Impulsivity and Emotion Regulation
We sought to investigate whether adverse childhood experiences increase impulsive spending in later life, and whether emotion dysregulation and impulsivity mediate this association. Limited research has examined associations between these factors, and examining the mechanisms involved may inform interventions for impulsive spending. This study used a cross-sectional, correlational design including 189 adult participants who completed an online su…
The adult sex ratio of European regions predicts female, but not male, subjective well-being
In recent years, researc in subjective well-being has found several ecological factors that may underpin societal differences in happiness. The adult sex ratio, the number of males relative to females in an environment, influences many behaviours in both humans and non-human animals. However, the possible influence of the sex ratio on subjective well-being has received little attention. I investigated the relationship between the adult sex ratio …
The Acceptability and Initial Effectiveness of “Space From Money Worries”: An Online Cognitive Behavioral Therapy Intervention to Tackle the Link Between Financial Difficulties and Poor Mental Health
Background: Previous research has shown a strong relationship between financial difficulties and mental health problems. Psychological factors such as hope and worry about finances appear to be an important factor in this relationship. Objective: To develop an online based psychological intervention (Space from Money Worries) to tackle the psychological mechanisms underlying the relationship between poor mental health and financial difficulties, …
Re-considering the evidence that taller people are less supportive of government wealth redistribution: A response to
A validation of the PCL–5 questionnaire for PTSD in primary and secondary care
This challenges much of the previous literature, which suggested 4, 6, and 7 factor models. The implications of this are discussed in detail in this paper. (PsycInfo Database Record (c) 2023 APA, all rights reserved)
Financial technologies (FinTech) for mental health: The potential of objective financial data to better understand the relationships between financial behavior and mental health
Financial stability is a key challenge for individuals with mental illnesses. Symptomatic periods often manifest in poor financial decision-making including compulsive spending and risky behaviors. This article explores research opportunities and challenges in developing financial technologies (FinTech) to support individuals with mental health. Specifically, we focus on how objective financial data might lead to novel mental health assessment an…
Young, formidable men show greater sensitivity to facial cues of dominance
There is considerable evidence that human male faces contain honest, detectable cues to their physical dominance, which are related to their objective facial masculinity. As such, some have argued that the extent to which observers' rate masculinised male faces as appearing more physically dominant is a useful measure of their ability to detect cues of dominance and threat in other men. We found across 3 studies (total n = 272) that younger, tall…
Height is associated with more self-serving beliefs about wealth redistribution
People vary widely in their attitudes towards how much their government should redistribute wealth. Evolutionary theory may shed light on why this variation occurs. Numerous studies have established an association between upper body strength and attitudes towards equality and wealth redistribution in males, showing that physically stronger men are more likely to hold self-serving beliefs on these issues. This effect is typically weaker or absent …
No association between adult sex steroids and hand preference in humans
BACKGROUND: There is ongoing debate about the effects of hormones on the lateralization of the developing brain. In humans, there are conflicting theories of how testosterone during development should affect lateralization. Empirical studies linking prenatal and postnatal testosterone levels to hand preference (a proxy for lateralization) are similarly mixed. Links between hand preference and health may also suggest a mediating role of steroid ho…
Psychological factors associated with financial hardship and mental health: A systematic review
Do Locus of Control, Self-esteem, Hope and Shame Mediate the Relationship Between Financial Hardship and Mental Health
In a longitudinal study of 104 participants, the psychological factors of economic locus of control, self-esteem, hope and shame were explored for their impact on the relationship between financial hardship and mental health.

A hierarchical regression analyses indicated that subjective financial ha…
Destroy and Build: Pacification in Phuoc Thuy, 1966–1972
In 2002, Governor General Michael Jeffrey stated that 'we Australians had everything under control in Phuoc Tuy Province'. This referred not only to military control, but to the policy of 'pacification' employed by the Republic of Vietnam and external 'Free World' allies such as the US and Australia. In the hopes of stemming the tide of Communism, pacification aimed to win the allegiance of the populace through political, economic and social refo…

Community Structure in Time-Dependent, Multiscale, and Multiplex Networks
Network Notation Networks are often characterized by clusters of constituents that interact more closely with each other and have more connections to one another than they do with the rest of the components of the network. However, systematically identifying and studying such community structure in complicated networks is not easy, especially when the network interactions change over time or contain multiple types of connections, as seen in many …

The Tetrad Project: Constraint Based Aids to Causal Model Specification
The statistical community has brought logical rigor and mathematical precision to the problem of using data to make inferences about a model's parameter values. The TETRAD project, and related work in computer science and statistics, aims to apply those standards to the problem of using data and background knowledge to make inferences about a model's specification. We begin by drawing the analogy between parameter estimation and model specificati…
Reply to Comments
We will respond to our commentators individually, but the order of our responses follows naturally from the issues they bring up. Judea Pearl describes SEM's unfortunate retreat from the clear causal semantics articulated by Sewall Wright (1921) and later by Haavelmo (1943) to the algebraic interpretation preferred more recently by econometricians. We agree with Pearl about the history and also the problem, namely that the algebraic interpretatio…

Soviet Control of City Size
Using Path Diagrams as a Structural Equation Modeling Tool
A linear structural equation model (SEM) without free parameters has two parts: a probability distribution and an associated path diagram corresponding to the causal relations among variables specified by the structural equations and the correlations among the error terms. This article shows how path diagrams can be used to solve a number of important problems in structural equation modeling; for example, How much do sample data underdetermine th…
