Thin-Ideal Internalisation and Weight Bias Internalisation as Predictors of Eating Pathology
The internalisation of sociocultural ideals and beliefs about weight and shape has long been recognised as an important predictor of disordered eating. However, thin-ideal internalisation and weight bias internalisation (WBI) are generally examined separately in the literature and within sociocultural models of eating disorders. Additionally, self-compassion has been identified as a protective factor against disordered eating, but its role in mit…

Introduction to 2018 American Academy of Religion Articles
The four scholars who presented their research at the Wesleyan Studies Unit session on ‘Health and Healing in Wesleyan and Methodist Perspectives’ at the 2018 AAR Conference in Denver, Colorado, ably demonstrated the global reach of Wesleyan thought and praxis on matters of well-being for humanity and creation.

Years since migration and wellbeing among Indian and Sri Lankan skilled migrants in Australia
Hexaco personality predicts counterproductive work behavior and organizational citizenship behavior in low-stakes and job applicant contexts
Body Weight Bias in Hiring Decisions
We examined the impact of job applicant body weight on employability ratings via the mediators of obesity and physical attractiveness stereotypes, organizational costs, and rational bias. The moderating effect of job type was also examined. A sample of 202 (75% female) university students assessed a job applicant on the basis of a résumé which was accompanied by a photograph (overweight vs. average weight) and a position description (face-to-face…
Life Satisfaction of Sri Lankan and Indian Skilled Migrants in Australia
Achieving higher life satisfaction is one of the main reasons for migration. Using cross-sectional survey data, this study explored the life satisfaction of 306 Indian and Sri Lankan skilled migrants employed in Australia. The results indicated that the life satisfaction of the participants was slightly above the Australian normative standard. Achievements in life, standard of living, feeling part of the community, and personal relationships were…

Gender differences in entrepreneurial networking and participation
Purpose The purpose of this paper is to investigate the relationship between an individual's personal acquaintance with an entrepreneur and his/her participation in entrepreneurial activity at three distinct new venture stages: discovery (intending to start a business), start‐up (actively in the process of starting a business), and young (running a business for less than three months). Design/methodology/approach Using Global Entrepreneurship Mon…
The Big Five Traits as Predictors of Subjective and Psychological Well-Being
Despite considerable research on personality and "hedonic" or subjective well-being, parallel research on "eudaimonic" or psychological well-being is scarce. The current study investigated the relationship between the Big Five traits and subjective and psychological well-being among 211 men and women. Results indicated that the relationship between personality factors and psychological well-being was stronger than the relationship between persona…
Modelling skill acquisition in acquired brain injury
Acquired brain injury (ABI) is a debilitating condition often requiring extensive rehabilitation. Although cognitive rehabilitation is concerned with overcoming a skills deficit, the application of skill acquisition research in this context has been non-existent. Examining post-injury learning in terms of the qualitative variables associated with different phases of skill acquisition is likely to be beneficial in assessing patient status and moni…
Entrepreneurship research and practice
Entrepreneurship is a major source of employment, economic growth, and innovation, promoting product and service quality, competition, and economic flexibility. It is also a mechanism by which many people enter the society's economic and social mainstream, aiding culture formation, population integration, and social mobility. This article aims to illuminate research opportunities for psychologists by exposing gaps in the entrepreneurship literatu…
