The Role of Community Connectedness in Understanding the Connection Between LGBTQ+ Minority Stress and Problem Drinking
BACKGROUND: Research has established that LGBTQ+ individuals engage in higher rates of problem drinking than the general population. Very few studies examine the impact of distinct components of minority stress on drinking while also considering the impact of other discrimination-based stressors (e.g., ableism, racism, sexism). We examined the effect of distal (discrimination experiences) and proximal (identity concealment) minority stressors on …
Going above and beyond
University provision of student support services sits at the interface between universities and the broader community. The success of Australian inclusive education funding imperatives requires a revised model of support to improve access and retention. Using a Foucaultian discourse analysis and the notion of ‘contingency’, data from interviews with ‘student support services’ staff in four Australian universities was interrogated to determine the…
Higher education in rural Australia
Protocol for the Mason
The study will produce new knowledge to help understand the development of health-related behaviors during young adulthood. A long-term goal of the cohort study is to support the design of effective, low-cost interventions to encourage young adults' consistent performance of healthful behaviors, improve their mental health, and improve academic performance
Supplemental Material for Equality for (Almost) All
This document contains supplemental materials for all studies in our paper. See (https://osf.io/rq3y8/?view_only=f431522b664c4c98a1ab68208e8d42d8) for exact materials, data, as well as pre-registrations. We include more information on measures and additional, exploratory variables, collected across studies. Given the number of variables used to capture our relationships, we report results relevant, which replicate our results and demonstrate robu…
The relation between craving and binge eating
Exploring the retention and success of students with disability in Australian higher education
The proportion of higher education students with disability is increasing. We know there is institutional variation in retention and performance of higher education students with disability, and there is a need to understand the reasons for this. This exploratory national study examines supports and adjustments provided by universities, including the role of disability practitioners, influence retention and performance of students with disability…
The influence of negative urgency, attentional bias, and emotional dimensions on palatable food consumption
Stress, cues, and eating behavior. Using drug addiction paradigms to understand motivation for food
The role of impulsivity traits and delayed reward discounting in dysregulated eating and drinking among heavy drinkers
The Relationship Between Maladaptive Eating Behaviors and Racial Identity Among African American Women in College
Research on eating disorders has shown that European American women suffer from eating disorders and body image dissatisfaction more than African American women. However, recent meta-analyses suggest these differences may be decreasing and that some African American women may be particularly susceptible to body dissatisfaction and eating disorder symptoms. The present study investigated the relationship between racial identity, body image, and ea…
Integration of impulsivity and positive mood to predict risky behavior
In 3 studies, the authors developed and began to validate a measure of the propensity to act rashly in response to positive affective states (positive urgency). In Study 1, they developed a content-valid 14-item scale, showed that the measure was unidimensional, and showed that positive urgency was distinct from impulsivity-like constructs identified in 2 models of impulsive behavior. In Study 2, they showed that positive urgency explained varian…
