“It's Easy to Do with Friends”
Research probing Black women's health-related decisions has historically neglected to contextualize these decisions within sociocultural influences and access to health-promoting infrastructure. Black women's underrepresentation in health and fitness spaces is often addressed in ways that reinforce stigmatizing messages. Feminist psychologists have long implicated psychology's often decontextualized lenses in sustaining narrow understandings of w…
A Gendered Approach to Understanding Hirsutism and Mental Health Risk in PCOS
Construction of identity in individuals with inflammatory bowel disease across the lifespan
Inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) is a chronic illness that affects 10 million individuals worldwide; however, Canada has the highest rates of IBD per capita in the world. Presently, 0.7% of Canadians are diagnosed with IBD, which is expected to rise to 1% by 2030. Disease onset is typically between the ages of 15-45 years old. This is a crucial period for identity development and growth; however, IBD symptoms often disrupt these processes and cau…
A longitudinal, mixed methods study exploring the impact of civic engagement on psychosocial outcomes across early to mid adulthood
Civic engagement during emerging adulthood plays a pivotal role in fostering a sense of community responsibility, providing a sense of societal purpose, and contributes to improved psychological adjustment. In this mixed-method longitudinal study, we further explored how civic engagement and psychological adjustment codevelop across emerging adulthood. Participants were drawn from The Future's Study, a Canadian longitudinal study capturing the tr…
Development and validation of the Closure and Resolution Scale (CRS)
This research comprises three studies centered on the development and validation of a self-report measure of psychological closure and resolution, the Closure and Resolution Scale (CRS). Study 1 used exploratory factor analysis (EFA) in two samples to probe the factor structure for closure using original (Study 1a N = 284) and revised (Study 1b N = 158) item pools. Study 2 (N = 159) examined model fit using confirmatory factor analysis (CFA), and…
Beyond the skin
Hidradenitis Suppurativa (HS) is a chronic, recurrent inflammatory skin condition that significantly impacts quality of life. The purpose of this qualitative study was to gain a deeper understanding of the lived experiences of women diagnosed with HS by amplifying a more integrative, strength-based understanding of the condition. We explored the lived experiences of 25 Canadian women with HS, focusing on their challenges with HS and how they over…
“My problems aren't severe enough to seek help”
Due to the unique set of stressors associated with the COVID-19 pandemic, healthcare workers in acute care settings may be facing elevated rates of mental health symptomatology. The purpose of this study was to assess levels of depression, anxiety, and stress in a sample of healthcare employees working in hospitals and their use of formal and informal mental health supports. Data was gathered over a three-week period in December 2020 as COVID cas…
The Diagnostic Experiences of Women With Polycystic Ovary Syndrome (PCOS) in Ontario, Canada
Polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) is the most common endocrine syndrome that disproportionally affects women of childbearing age (~8% to 13% of women worldwide). If unmanaged, it can lead to chronic, lifelong complications. Over the past decade, improvements in diagnostic guidelines have not produced an expected reduction in the diagnostic timeframe. We examined the potential reasons underlying this diagnosis delay. Participants first constructed …
Meaning in Life Mediates the Association between Environmental Engagement and Loneliness
Although the positive outcomes of human-environment interactions have been established, research examining the motivation between engagement in pro-environmental activities and psychological well-being is limited. In this mixed-methods study, the relationship between pro-environmental engagement, meaning in life, and well-being, including loneliness and depression, were investigated in a sample of 112 young adults in Canada. It was found that eng…
I didn’t feel normal”
Polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS), which affects 8 to 13% of reproductive-aged women, is a highly gendered disorder whose symptoms disrupt Western conceptions of femininity. This may be especially debilitating for young women, who are targeted by societal discourses governing how they “should” be. We interviewed 10 young Canadian women, aged 18 to 22, about how PCOS has influenced and/or conflated their conceptions of identity and (ab)normality wi…
Developing Clinical Trainees’ Multicultural Counseling Competencies Through Working with Refugees in a Multicultural Psychotherapy Practicum
The codevelopment of community involvement and generative concern pathways in emerging and young adulthood
In this longitudinal Canadian study, we investigated the relationship between the developmental trajectories of community involvement and generative concern measured at ages 23, 26, and 32. Participants completed a questionnaire on youth involvement, the Youth Involvement Inventory (YII), and the Loyola Generativity Scale (LGS) at all 3 ages. A latent growth model (LGM) of community involvement predicting time-specific variance in the LGS reveale…
Generative Concern and Environmentalism
In a mixed-methods longitudinal study, we examined the relationship between Erikson’s construct of generativity, measured at ages 23 and 26, and environmentalism at age 32. Over a hundred Canadian youth completed a questionnaire that measured generative concerns. Environmentalism was assessed by questionnaires on involvement, identity, and attitudes, as well as through narratives about personal experiences with the environment. Narratives were co…
