Social Identification as a Predictor of Mental Health and Wellbeing
Men’s Sheds offer promising sites for unique health promotion opportunities, and while prior work has identified potential mechanisms that may support wellbeing, these mechanisms are yet to be empirically clarified in the Men’s Shed context. This study investigated the relationships between engagement in Men’s Sheds, social identification, social connectedness, social support, and wellbeing outcomes in Men’s Shed members in Western Australia ( N …
What Makes a Thriving Mutual-Aid Membership Association? The Case of Men’s Sheds

This paper uses in-depth qualitative interviews with committee members of Men…

We employed a cross-sectional design to explore whether the relationships between social anxiety, behavioural activation and depressive sym…
