‘Sky’s the limit’
Fostering young children’s creativity is a desired outcome of STEM learning experiences. Such experiences often incorporate hands-on activities that encourage agency, curiosity, and experimentation. While educators generally have a good understanding of how to nurture creativity within a physical learning environment, less is known about creativity in an online context. Prior to the COVID-19 pandemic, little research focused on young children’s o…
Digital technologies and the early childhood sector
Across Australia, early years learning frameworks recommend digital technologies be integrated into early years centres. Introduced in 2009, the Early Years Learning Framework, requires educators to foster children’s use of technologies for accessing information, investigating ideas, and representing their thinking. The National Quality Framework also encourages children to engage with digital technology for experimentation. Using a researcher cr…
Adolescent Drinking and Family Life
Poetry Writing and Secretory Immunoglobulin A
17 healthy students provided saliva samples for Immunoglobulin A (s-IgA) assay before and after sessions of either writing poetry or reading magazines (control). Levels of s-IgA increased after the poetry-writing sessions but not after reading
Progressive Muscle Relaxation and Secretory Immunoglobulin A
30 healthy students produced saliva samples for Immunoglobulin A assay before and after sessions involving either progressive muscle relaxation (n = 15) or a control condition (n = 15). Levels of immunoglobulin A increased significantly in the relaxation group but not in the control group
Academic Stress and Secretory Immunoglobulin A
Immediately before and after giving an oral presentation and taking examinations 10 final-year students provided saliva samples for immunoglobulin A assay. Compared with 'baseline', levels of immunoglobulin A were lower surrounding the examination conditions and before the presentation
Academic Stress and Secretory Immunoglobulin A
Pleasure, Guilt and Secretory Immunoglobulin A
Before producing saliva samples for Immunoglobulin A assay, 30 subjects listed their pleasurable activities and rated them in terms of pleasure and guilt. Levels of Immunoglobulin A were higher in those subjects with high ratios of pleasure-guilt scores
Media Messages and Alcohol Education
The immediate effects of a media intervention on attitudes toward alcohol were investigated with 134 secondary school pupils (aged 13 to 17 years) who completed a drinking and smoking questionnaire and expressed strength of agreement or disagreement with 13 statements about alcohol, drinking and health. Pupils then read news cuttings from popular magazines. One group read a negative message about alcohol, another group a positive message. Other g…
Effects of Alcohol on Responsive Laughter and Amusement
After consuming either an alcoholic or nonalcoholic beverage, 48 subjects viewed a humorous film. Frequency of responsive laughter and subjective amusement was significantly greater in the alcohol group
Social Drinking and Laughter
Pairs of observers monitored drinking and laughter in groups of social drinkers (N = 56). A significant correlation of .27 was found between units of alcohol consumed and laughter scores
Judgments of Substance Use and Creativity in ‘Ordinary’ People's Everyday Lifestyles
To investigate the relationship between substance use and creativity, four pairs of raters independently assessed the reports of over 600 respondents from the Mass-Observation (M-O) Archive. The M-O directive addressed, their use of 'stimulants and relaxants.' Correlations between 'creativity' ratings and 'substance use' ratings were low but significantly positive (around .275). The observed links are discussed in relation to laboratory-based and…
Group Differences in Alcohol-Creativity Interactions
A repeated-measures, balanced-order design was used to test for the effects of alcohol on creativity as measured by verbal forms of the Torrance Creativity Test. Social drinkers (8 men and 8 women) performed under 2 conditions, alcohol (dose = 0.83 ml ethanol/kg body weight) and a placebo. Significant group differences in the alcohol-creativity interaction were noted in that the performance of higher-scoring (in the placebo condition) subjects wa…
Relationship between Laughter and Weekly Alcohol Consumption
A significant correlation of 0.36 was found between scores on the Situational Humor Response Questionnaire and units of weekly alcohol consumption self-reported by 166 social drinkers aged between 18 and 70 years
Domestic Space, Modes of Control and Problem Behaviour
Relationships between domination and subordination in families and the use of space and time in the home are relevant to an understanding of the structuring of social space because of links
