Predicting fruit and vegetable consumption in long-haul heavy goods vehicle drivers
Fruit and vegetable intake is insufficient in industrialized nations and long-haul heavy goods vehicle (HGV) drivers are considered a particularly at-risk group. The aim of the current study was to test the effectiveness of a multi-theory, dual-phase model to predict fruit and vegetable consumption in Australian long-haul HGV drivers. A secondary aim was to examine the effect of past fruit and vegetable consumption on model paths. A prospective d…
Increasing Psychological Literacy and Work Readiness of Australian Psychology Undergraduates through a Capstone and Work‐Integrated Learning Experience
ObjectiveWhile most students undertaking bachelor level training in psychology will not become registered psychologists, as graduates they join a large pool of well‐educated and psychologically literate citizens who can apply psychology in a range of contexts. Our objective is to showcase the literature on capstone and work integrated learning (WIL) courses and outline how these specialised courses could be utilised to support undergraduate psych…
Illness Perceptions of Cystic Fibrosis
In the last two decades, the life expectancy for individuals with Cystic Fibrosis (CF) has increased significantly. The limited research examining the psychosocial experiences of young adults with CF indicates that other young adults lack awareness and understanding of CF. Using the Illness Perception Questionnaire, perceptions of CF were examined in individuals with CF aged 16 to 25 and two groups of same-aged peers: those who did, or did not, k…
Understanding Adherence in Patients With Coronary Heart Disease
In people with Coronary Heart Disease (CHD), poor adherence to medication, exercise, and dietary recommendations can compromise prognosis. This study investigated respective associations of the Commonsense Self‐Regulation Model (CSM), the Transtheoretical Model (TM), and trait affect with patients’ self‐reported adherence to treatment. One hundred and forty‐two CHD outpatients completed the Illness Perceptions Questionnaire Revised, Self‐Efficacy…
The Training Crisis in Health Psychology in Australia
This article begins with a brief history of the emergence of health psychology, discussing the nature of heath psychology, and the crisis in health that drives the need for more health psychologists. It then proceeds to discuss training in health psychology in Australia at both undergraduate and postgraduate levels. To provide a context for considering ways forward, the history of training in health psychology in Australia is reviewed, followed b…
Un homme avant tout ’
In the hundred and eleventh minute of the 2006 World Cup final, Zinedine Zidane was ejected from the field of play for head‐butting Marco Materazzi in the chest. What provoked this violent reaction was a challenge to his masculinity in the form of a slur on the chastity of his mother and sister. This essay tells the story of the head‐butt and, in so doing, would demonstrate that only a sociological account is capable of offering a truly sophistic…
Performing risks
This article examines different forms of voluntary risk-taking behaviour amongst young people living and learning in a risk society. It draws on research conducted with a Scottish dance-education company and a synthesis of Elisian, Bakhtinian and Bourdieusian theories. It argues that risk-taking may be particularly alluring in ‘societies of caution’ in which youth experience significant levels of control and surveillance in schools and other heav…
Illness Representations of Systemic Lupus Erythematosus
Systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) is a chronic illness that usually follows a fluctuating course and, therefore, can be difficult to diagnose. Consequently, individuals with SLE often hold beliefs about the nature and course of the illness that are at odds with medical opinion. Clearly, a shared understanding of the illness would be beneficial to illness management. In this study, the authors used semistructured interviews and interpretative phe…
A Field Study of Stress and Fatigue in Long-Distance Bus Drivers
Psychophysiological changes during long-distance driving may be associated with driving fatigue and morbidity. Measures of stress and arousal, including heart rate, blood pressure, catecholamines, cortisol, state anxiety, and self-ratings of stress and arousal were collected from 10 long-distance bus drivers during 12-hour driving shifts and at matched times on nondriving rest days. Cardiovascular and catecholamine data were elevated across the e…
Issues in Natural Disaster Management
Aims to discuss issues relevant to two aspects of research into the effects of cyclones on the north‐east coast of Queensland: personal responses to the experience of cyclones; and organizational and management features of the preparation for, and response to, natural hazards and disasters. Suggests that an understanding of responses at both levels is necessary for effective counter‐disaster action
