OBJECTIVES: The aims of these studies were to (a) document the creation of the Wellbeing Hononga Index (WeHI), (b) demonstrate how psychometric practices can be Indigenized, and (c) provide a novel protocol for psychometrically validating survey measures. METHOD: We developed a new ordinal response scale based on the "Pūhā" plant and created 41 survey items based on the Ngaruroro model of Māori well-being (MW; Study 1). Interviews with eight Māor…
Stigma in Aotearoa New Zealand: Comparisons of attitudes toward those with mental illness and disability
Tales from the trenches: The barriers to and facilitators of decolonizing doctoral research in psychology departments of Aotearoa
The colonization and marginalization of Indigenous peoples, their worldviews, epistemologies, and pedagogies are long-standing, and Indigenous peoples maintain the unending struggle for decolonization. Universities are complicit in colonialism by perpetuating Whiteness and maintaining a power imbalance. The issue is multiplied for Indigenous doctoral researchers who enact their research from the margins. In this study, six Māori and one Pākehā (n…
Introducing ‘Ngaruroro’, a New Model for Understanding Māori Wellbeing
Indigenous peoples around the world are revitalising their ancestral beliefs, practices, and languages, including traditional understandings of health and wellbeing. In the Aotearoa (New Zealand) context, a number of ground-breaking Māori health- and wellbeing-related models have emerged, each with their own scope and applications. We sought in our qualitative studies to explore and identify several key sources of wellbeing for Māori individuals.…
Social Identity Mapping With Justice‐Involved Young People: Exploring Identity Pathways to Aid the Desistance of Criminal Offending
Social groups and the environments they create play a prominent role in the desistance versus persistence of young peoples' criminal offending. Social Identity Mapping (SIM) provides a quantitative method for understanding the social network of young offenders. This exploratory study was guided by two broad research questions: (1) using the SIM task, we wanted to investigate the experiences of young people moving through the Youth Justice System …

The Māori Cultural Embeddedness Scale (MaCES): Initial evidence of structural validity

Longitudinal Change in Authoritarian Factors as Explained by Political Beliefs and a Distrust of Science
During the COVID-19 pandemic there have been marked changes in individuals' belief systems (e.g., support for lockdowns) as a result of the threat of COVID-19. In the current study, we investigated whether these belief systems change as a function of changes in the threat of COVID-19. Specifically, we conducted a longitudinal study, with authoritarianism measured at the height of the COVID-19 pandemic in New Zealand and when the threat of COVID-1…
Taking a Break from Social Media Improves Wellbeing Through Sleep Quality
As social media use has increased in prevalence, so have concerns that social media may be detrimental to mental health and wellbeing. The primary aim of the current study was to investigate whether limiting social media use leads to increases in wellbeing. A secondary aim was to assess whether sleep quality contributed to the hypothesized relationship between social media use and wellbeing. One hundred and thirty-two individuals participated in …
Monitoring the sentiment of cannabis‐related tweets in the lead up to New Zealand's cannabis referendum
Hey Google! will New Zealand vote to legalise cannabis? Using Google Trends data to predict the outcome of the 2020 New Zealand cannabis referendum
Does the Fear of Missing Out Moderate the Relationship Between Social Networking Use and Affect? A Daily Diary Study
Social networking site (SNS) use is common and speculation about the negative impact of SNS use on mental health and psychological well-being is a recurring theme in scientific debates. The evidence for this link, however, is inconclusive. The Fear of Missing Out (FoMO) may assist in understanding the mixed evidence, as individuals who experience FoMO are more driven to keep up with what is happening to avoid missing out. We used a 2-week daily d…
Evaluation of the English Version of the Fear of Covid-19 Scale and Its Relationship with Behavior Change and Political Beliefs
The COVID-19 pandemic has many individuals around the world fearing for their lives. The constant news coverage, rapid transmission, and relatively high mortality rate, make fearfulness a natural response. To assess the fear of COVID-19, the Fear of COVID-19 Scale (FCV-19S) was developed. The primary aim of the present study was to conduct the first psychometric assessment and validation of the English version of the FCV-19S. Two samples were col…
Identifying profiles of affective change: An ecological momentary assessment of flourishers
The broaden-and-build theory of positive emotion suggests that higher levels of positive affect promote an independently measurable state of high psychological well-being termed flourishing. Levels of self-perceived flourishing have been shown to be influenced by past affect, and there is some indication that flourishing may influence future affect. Our study addressed 2 questions: (a) whether a person-centered latent profile analysis based on mo…
