A scoping review of evidence of the association between attentional processes and uncertainty in mental health disorders
Uncertainty is an expected feature of everyday life, however maladaptive responses to uncertainty are increasingly recognised as a transdiagnostic feature across many mental health conditions. An important consideration is how we prioritise and gather information about uncertain stimuli or situations (Gottlieb, 2023), where attention serves as a primary gateway for this process. In particular, it has been queried whether, and to what extent, atte…
When Is the Still‐Face Not the Still‐Face
The Face‐to‐Face Still‐Face (FF‐SF) procedure has been a popular paradigm to understand infant behavior. The current study examines the validity of mothers' behavior during the Still‐Face phase of the FF‐SF, especially the quality of her neutral face and its impact on infant arousal ( N = 358 ethnically‐diverse mother–infant dyads, Mean infant age = 223 days, SD = 27 days). Results showed that more than half of the mothers in the sample breached …
Learning without consequence
Visual attention to outcomes, and their subsequent encoding, is critical for sensitive responding and adaptation of behaviour. Research into the role of outcome encoding in individual differences has been hindered by a lack of cognitive tasks that can produce a reliable, and stable, metric. This property of test-retest reliability is critical when looking to associate cognitive functions with stable individual differences in personality, and form…
Still connecting the dots
An attentional bias toward threat has been theorized to be a normative aspect of infants' threat and safety learning, and an indicator of risk for internalizing psychopathology in older populations. To date, only four studies have examined this bias using the dot‐probe task in infancy and the findings are mixed. We extended the literature by examining patterns of attention to threat in a culturally and linguistically diverse sample of infants age…
Towards Preventative Psychiatry
Maternal-infant bonding is important for children's positive development. Poor maternal-infant bonding is a risk factor for negative mother and infant outcomes. Although researchers have examined individual predictors of maternal-infant bonding, studies typically do not examine several concurrent and longitudinal predictors within the same model. This study aimed to evaluate the unique and combined predictive power of cross-sectional and longitud…
Mapping the Specific Pathways to Early-Onset Mental Health Disorders
This study will be the first to test a clear developmental map of both the unique and specific causes of childhood psychopathology and will identify more precise early intervention targets for children with complex comorbid conditions
How Do Mothers’ Parental Attributions Affect Child Outcomes from a Positive Parenting Intervention? A Mediation Study
Problematic parental attributions refer to negative causal explanations for child problem behaviour and are known to predict parenting intervention outcomes. This study examines alternative accounts of how mothers' problematic parental attributions, operationalised as negative pre-treatment and change resistant parental attributions during treatment, may affect child behaviour outcomes from a parenting intervention program. Putative mediators inc…
ParentWorks
Evidence-based parenting interventions are effective in reducing conduct problems, yet these interventions have limited reach, and few involve the participation of fathers. This paper describes the outcomes of an open trial of ParentWorks, a universal, online, father-inclusive parenting intervention aiming to decrease childhood behavioural problems and promote positive parenting in mothers and fathers. A total of 388 families (456 individual pare…
Evaluating Practitioner Training to Improve Competencies and Organizational Practices for Engaging Fathers in Parenting Interventions
Fathers are consistently underrepresented in parenting interventions and practitioners are an important target for change in interventions to enhance father engagement. This research examined the effects of two practitioner training programs in improving practitioner rated competencies and organizational father-inclusive practices. Two studies were conducted, each with a single group, repeated measures (pre, post and 2-month follow-up) design. St…
Why is this Happening? A Brief Measure of Parental Attributions Assessing Parents’ Intentionality, Permanence, and Dispositional Attributions of Their Child with Conduct Problems
Enhancing Father Engagement in Parenting Programs
ObjectiveGiven the increasing research and practice interest in father engagement, this article aimed to develop a clinical narrative integrating the extant research literature to distil key practice recommendations for enhancing father engagement in parenting interventions for child wellbeing.MethodA narrative review of research on father engagement in interventions for child wellbeing was conducted, to identify and distil evidence‐based policie…

Optimising child outcomes from parenting interventions
The findings have important implications for services seeking to increase father engagement and highlight a number of strategies to enhance the promotion and delivery of parenting interventions to fathers. These strategies include more public health messaging about parenting programs and the importance of father participation
Examining Practitioner Competencies, Organizational Support and Barriers to Engaging Fathers in Parenting Interventions
Evidence-based parenting interventions have been developed and evaluated largely with mothers. This study examined practitioner reports of rates of father attendance, barriers to engagement, organizational support for father-inclusive practice, participation in training in father engagement, and competencies in working with fathers. It also explored predictors of practitioner competence and rates of father attendance. Practitioners (N = 210) who …
