Diagnostic Accuracy in Australian Psychologists
ObjectiveThere is pressure domestically and internationally to abandon the “4 + 2” pathway in order to more closely align with other western countries. Yet there is limited empirical evidence to support the benefits of the “postgraduate” pathway above that of the internship model. This study examined the training pathways to qualify for registration as a psychologist in Australia and their relationship to years of practice experience, the anchori…
Who has read the policy on plagiarism? Unpacking students' understanding of plagiarism
Research has established that the term plagiarism is open to different interpretations, resulting in confusion among students and staff alike. University policy on academic integrity/misconduct defines the behaviours that all stakeholders must abide by, and the parameters for reporting, investigating and penalising infringements. These definitions are the benchmark for assessing how well students understand plagiarism. An invitation to complete a…
Bulimia Nervosa
This study examined the explanatory models of bulimia nervosa (BN) held by members of professionals in the medical, psychological, and allied health fields; the general public; and female university students. The participants (N = 787) were presented with 44 potential causal explanations for BN and were asked to rate the importance of each in the development of this condition on a 5‐point rating scale (“unimportant” to “extremely important”). Pri…
Exploring university students' perceptions of plagiarism
Plagiarism is perceived to be a growing problem and universities are being required to devote increasing time and resources to combating it. Theory and research in psychology show that a thorough understanding of an individual's view of an issue or problem is an essential requirement for successful change of that person's attitudes and behaviour. This pilot study explores students' perceptions of a number of issues relating to plagiarism in an Au…
South African Adolescents' Explanations for Juvenile Delinquency
Research in other parts of the world suggests that adolescents invoke a multiplicity of causes to explain juvenile offending. The extent to which the different explanations are endorsed appears partly to be a function of cultural and demographic characteristics. The aim of this study was to investigate South African adolescents' explanations for delinquency and to examine cultural differences in these explanations. A total of 554 secondary school…
Cultural Differences in Adolescents' Explanations of Juvenile Delinquency
Lay explanations for juvenile delinquency given by Australian adolescents from either collectivist or individualist cultural backgrounds were examined. After controlling for socioeconomic and demographic variables, differences were found between the groups, with the individualistic group tending to emphasize more individual-oriented explanations. These results are consistent with previous work on culture and attributional style
The role of self-efficacy and fear-avoidance beliefs in the prediction of disability
Both self-efficacy and fear-avoidance beliefs have been shown to be predictors of the level of disability in low back pain suffers. What is not clear from the literature, however, is whether the two constructs are differentially predictive of disability. The aim of this study was to investigate the relationship between pain self-efficacy and fear-avoidance beliefs and to determine whether they can explain unique variance in disability scores. One…

Ambient Temperature and the Occurrence of Collective Violence
A factor which is often cited in textbooks as causing or precipitating riots is temperature. The support given for this contention is usually the finding of the US Riot Commission relating to the role of the ‘long hot summer’ in riots and the archival study by Baron and Ransberger of the relationship between temperature and riots in the late 1960s in the USA. In this article the authors report a replication of Baron and Ransberger's study in a So…
More About Môre
A decade after a study of predictions about the future of psychology, student predictions are elicited again. This time, the predictions are made by psychology students who are either beginners or in their final year. The two groups differ little in their forecasts. Jointly, the students incline to defer the occurrence of events until 2025 at the earliest. Lack of knowledge or wishful thinking seem to explain many of the forecasts
A Psycholinguistic Perspective on Bilinguals' Discrepant Questionnaire Responses
The Finding That Bilinguals Sometimes Respond Differently To The Same Item In Different Language Versions Of Questionnaires Is Usually Interpreted In Terms Of Social Psychological Processes Such As Accommodation, Ethnic Affirmation, Or Social Desirability. However, The Discrepant Responses Of Bilinguals May Be A Function Of The Way In Which The Languages Have Been Acquired. In Terms Of The Dual-Coding Model, Compound Bilinguals Should Have The Sa…
Locus of Control and Stressful Life Events
Crandall and Lehman (1977) suggest that an accummulation of life stresses causes a person to change his/her perceived locus of control. The present study argues that the converse is more likely, i.e., locus of control influences one's perception of life events. The SRRS and l-E scales were administered to 191 subjects. Locus of control did not correlate with normally computed SRRS scores, but it did correlate with SRRS scores when these were base…
Ethnocentrism, Authoritarianism and Conservatism among Two South African Student Samples
Measurements of ethnocentrism (E-scale), authoritarianism (the 29 item F-scale of Adorno, Frenkel-Brunswik, Levinson & Sanford) and conservatism (Wilson & Patterson's C-scale) were obtained on groups of English (N = 29) and Afrikaans (N = 23) speaking students during 1975 and 1977. Significantly lower F and E scores for the Afrikaans-speaking subjects and C, F and E scores for the English-speaking subjects were found at the end of the two-year pe…
