Leveraging web-scraped data to examine alcohol pricing
This study presented an independently cross-checked large-scale and longitudinal web scraping approach to collect alcohol price data, and demonstrated that the adapted data could aid understanding of the alcohol retail market. Web scraping is a feasible method to collect price data to support the development of evidence-based alcohol price policy
Which alcohol products might be affected by the introduction of a minimum unit price in Western Australia? Findings from a survey of alcohol retail prices
Can counter-advertising exposing alcohol sponsorship and harms influence sport spectators’ support for alcohol policies? An experimental study
Counter-advertising employing messages that expose and critique the intent and impact of pervasive alcohol sponsorship in sport has potential to bolster public support for policies targeting alcohol sport sponsorship, diminish beliefs supportive of alcohol industry marketing strategies and enhance negative views of alcohol companies and their marketing practices
The Relationship Between Weight Stigmatization, Avoidance, Enjoyment and Participation in Physical Activity and Sport, and Psychological Distress
Objectives: The psychosocial factors affecting physical activity (PA) and sport participation are not well understood but need to be to gain the psychological benefits of PA and sport. In this study, we sought to establish the relationship between weight stigmatization, the tendency to avoid, or participate in and/or enjoy PA and sport, and psychological distress. Methods: We collected demographic details and measures of the constructs of interes…

Weight Stigma and Avoidance of Physical Activity and Sport
Participation in sport and physical activity (PA) is declining, and the psychosocial factors underpinning avoidance of these activities are not understood. This study developed and tested a new measure assessing the tendency to avoid PA and sport because of weight stigma and appearance-related concerns. University students (n = 581, mean age = 19.8 years) completed an online survey at two time points. Demographic details and measures of weight st…
The Relationship between Weight Stigma, Physical Appearance Concerns, and Enjoyment and Tendency to Avoid Physical Activity and Sport
Participation in physical activity and sport is on the decline and there is a poor understanding of the psychosocial factors that contribute to people's reluctance to participate. We examined whether there were relationships between factors such as weight stigma, weight bias internalization, appearance evaluation, and fears of negative appearance evaluations, and enjoyment and avoidance of physical activity and sport. Undergraduate students ( N =…

Development and Validation of the Perceived Life Significance Scale
A recent literature review of meaning and bereavement suggests a conceptual distinction between sense-making, or the integration of a loss with beliefs and narratives, and life significance, or perception of value associated with an aspect of one's life experience. The present study aims to develop and validate a new measure: the Perceived Life Significance Scale (PLSS). Exploratory (n = 353) and confirmatory (n = 483) factor analyses support thr…
Effects of religious stigma and harm on perceived psychopathology
Prior research suggests that assessment of the pathology of religious beliefs is influenced by conventionality and harm, with less conventional and more harmful beliefs resulting in higher pathology ratings. This study, involving 313 participants, investigated levels of pathology assigned to religious beliefs when the beliefs were either helpful or less severely harmful than those used in prior research, and when the associated religion was eithe…
Hypnosis and the pathologising of religious beliefs
“Religion and psychopathology” is a phrase of hidden tensions, epistemological clashes, and a complex historical aetiology. Contemporary theory and research attempt to sort out the relation between the two, but overlooked, unseen, and unappreciated is the historical context that shapes inquiry. It is only at the end of the nineteenth century that religion and psychopathology can be juxtapositioned. This paper examines the prehistory of “religion …
Religious Fundamentalism, the Need for Cognitive Closure, and Helping
In this study, the authors investigated the relation of religious fundamentalism (RF) and need for cognitive closure (NCC) on helping. Participants were 161 undergraduates, 99 of whom met inclusion requirements. Helping was assessed by two pairs of vignettes requesting funding allocations. One pair contrasted a religious, homogenous in-group with a religious, heterogeneous out-group; the other pair contrasted a nonreligious, homogeneous in-group …
Religious Fundamentalism, Religious Coping, and Preference for Psychological and Religious Treatment
Religion may not be simply another variable in the assessment of treatment-seeking but an alternative worldview about the nature of suffering and its appropriate treatment. This study examines the relation of religious fundamentalism and religious coping on relative preference for psychological or religious help-seeking in 142 undergraduate students. Higher levels of religious fundamentalism and deferred religious coping were found to be associat…
Assumptive Worldviews and Religious Coping With Bereavement and Type 2 Diabetes
This study explored the effects of deferring and self-directed religious coping on the assumptive worldviews of women following the death of a child, the death of another friend or family member, or diagnosis with type 2 diabetes mellitus (n = 284). Participants completed the World Assumptions Scale (Janoff-Bulman, 1989 Janoff-Bulman, R. 1989. Assumptive worlds and the stress of traumatic events: Application of the schema construct. Social Cognit…
Differentiating psychosis and faith
Although delusion is a central characteristic of psychosis, problems with the DSM definition make identification difficult, especially when religious content is involved. This study, involving 255 participants, sought to (1) determine if untrained participants’ assessment of religious beliefs would be similar to that of trained clinicians in a previous study and (2) determine whether participants’ Religious Fundamentalism (RF) influenced assessme…

Play
The role of play in development is discussed from cultural-evolutionary and ontogenetic-historical perspectives. The Piaget/Sutton-Smith debate serves as a point of departure for identifying important questions concerning the role of play in development. Parallels are drawn between genetic mutation and DNA in biological evolution, and play and imitation in cultural evolution. Vygotsky’s model of language development is used to provide an understa…
Psychological and Religious Coping Strategies of Mothers Bereaved by the Sudden Death of a Child
The authors examined the associations of 3 types of psychological coping (task-based, emotion-based, avoidance), 2 types of religious coping (positive, negative), and their interactions with grief of 57 mothers bereaved by the sudden death of a child. Results indicated that mothers who use emotion-based coping report significantly higher levels of grief, whereas mothers who use avoidance coping report lower levels of grief. The interaction of tas…
Research
This study examined situational and denominational differences in the use of religious coping activities. A sample of 153 members of Catholic (n = 75) and Disciples of Christ (n = 78) churches read hypothetical vignettes representing three types of stressful situations (the death of one's father, being in a sailboat during a storm, a job promotion) and were assessed on the types of religious coping strategies that they would employ in each situat…

Levinas and the Ethical Context of Human Development
Research on infancy and the philosophy of Levinas are integrated, suggesting that human development is forged within an ethical, relational context, with particular individuals, embodied in ordinary, daily, concrete acts of giving, care and exchange. Ethics is immanent in human conduct and moral principles are derived from the acts of relatedness and care essential to human life, present from the earliest, first moments of life. Ethics as first p…
Depression and Attribution in Abused Children and Their Nonoffending Caregivers
This study examined depression and attribution in 17 abused children and their nonoffending caregivers. Analysis indicated that negative attributions were significantly related to higher scores on depression of both children and caregivers, that depression scores of caregivers were unrelated to depression of their abused children, but that caregivers, nevertheless, assessed their children's self-reported depression as similar to their own self-re…
Parental Divorce and Intimate Relationships of Young Adults
This study examined associations among parental divorce, family conflict, sex, and young men's and women's achievement of intimacy. Analyses indicated that family conflict and sex, but not divorce, were significantly related to intimacy. Examination of those within the divorced group suggest that time of divorce, along with family conflict, were related to intimacy
Developmental Psychology, God and the Good
The emergence of the modern concept of development is closely linked with the awakening of a historical consciousness in western thought. Historiography shifted from the veneration of the sacred to the analysis of the secular, and human change came to be viewed as progressive and developmental. Salvationist dogma about the hereafter was replaced by visions of a utopia here on earth. Progressive development involves a natural ordering of values an…

Play and development from an ethological perspective
El sentido del ocio infantil que va asociado al desarrollo personal y social es un tema poco o nada estudiado. No por eso deja de ser clave, tanto para el esclarecimiento de las acciones educativas de padres y educadores como de determinadas políticas de gestión comunitaria. A partir de esta cuestión de fondo se reflexiona aquí, con el apoyo de distintos recursos: el conocimiento del autor sobre ocio y desarrollo humano, asunto sobre el que ha in…

The Stress-Arousal Checklist as a Measure of Situational Stress versus Simple Arousal
The Stress-Arousal Checklist was developed as a self-report measure both of arousal and of the favorable or unfavorable appraisal of that arousal. Previous studies with the checklist showed differential sensitivity of the two subscales to experimental manipulations. In the present study, the convergent and discriminant validity were further explored by comparing scores with those on the State-Trait Anxiety Inventory-State. The results supported t…

Factors Influencing Adjustment in the Families of Autistic Children
This study investigated factors influencing the adjustment of families of 49 autistic children (38 boys, 11 girls) to the stress of raising an autistic child. Analysis indicated that the severity of the child's disorder (stress), mother's social support (resources), and mother's perceived locus of control (perception) were significant factors in family adjustment. In addition, evidence suggested that agency affiliation also was an unexpected, yet…

Fears of Normal and Retarded Children
The developmental features of the fears of 112 nonretarded and 42 retarded children were examined. With development, the fears of nonretarded children became more closely aligned with real sources of threat that involve human agency and less fearful of imaginary things. The retarded children displayed patterns of fears similar to their mental-age peers rather than chronological peers and were more likely to deny being fearful than their nonretard…
