Hybrid Neoliberalism: Implications for Sustainable Development
Neoliberalism is frequently blamed for challenges in achieving sustainable development; consequently some also question if sustainability is still a useful concept. Neoliberal influence on natural resource management has evolved over the last 30 years to a hybrid form that seeks to compensate for its negative social and environmental externalities. Through review of literature and critical analysis of three case studies of resource development in…
Assessing Government Intentions for Australian Water Reform Using a Social Justice Framework
Concerns about justice are increasing as Australian governments continue to implement water reform, often facing hostility from stakeholders with conflicting interests. This article presents a social justice framework that can be used to analyze water reform from a justice perspective. The framework is a compilation of existing justice theories taken from the social psychology literature and is based on the components of distributive, procedural,…
Social cultural influences on current and future coastal governance
Justice and local community change: Towards a substantive theory of justice
Justice is a core principle in community psychology, yet has been the subject of relatively little systematic research. In the social psychological literature on the other hand there is a long tradition of research on justice in social life. In this article the potential benefits of integrating the social justice aspirations of community psychology and the conceptualizations of procedural and distributive justice from social psychology are discus…

Factors Motivating Community Participation in Regional Water-Allocation Planning: A Test of an Expectancy-Value Model
The attitudinal determinants of intention to participate in planning for water allocation were assessed among residents of Jandakot, Western Australia. An expectancy-value attitudinal model was developed to assess the relationship between intention to participate and (a) attitudes towards the process of public involvement, (b) subjective norms, and (c) attitudes towards possible outcomes of involvement. It was hypothesised that other attitudinal …
Identification of early leavers from a remote mining community
Voting preference and frequency estimation of political statements
Paternalism in Australian Courts
Female defendants were found to be treated more leniently than male defendants in a simulated jury experiment. The possibility of favouritism towards females in Australian courts should be further examined
Social Rank and Shaping Latency in Jersey Cows
aggressive order was assessed (1) by two independent observers and a perfect correlation between the orders was obtained. Ss were then introduced to the conditioning chamber. Here shaping latencies were again recorded by an independent observer. Ss were habituated to the 3- X 3- x 1.6-m operant pen for 25 min, daily for 3 days during which time they were offered a preferred food. On the fourth day shaping began using the method of successive appr…
Social Inhibition of Locomotor Activity in Mice
Male mice engaged in less locomotion in an open field when in the company of another male mouse than when alone. This social inhibition of activity contrasts with the previous finding that rats tested in pairs showed an increase in activity. The significance of these findings for the interpretation of general activity of mice within the open field is discussed
Problems in the Analysis of Competitive Data
While a number of studies have investigated the effects of experimental manipulations on the competitive behavior of laboratory rodents, little systematization has been achieved in either experimental design or statistical analyses. This paper reviews the analyses used in a number of competitive studies and concludes that between-group competitive experiments should be analyzed with one-sample statistics. It suggests that if the one-sample chi sq…
Evidence for Cagemate Preference in the Laboratory Rat
3 illustrative studies using a time-sample photographic method for the measurement of sociability and social preference in rats showed that, in contrast to previous findings, rats prefer cagemates over strangers when placed in a novel environment. An alternative analysis of social distances is discussed
