Accessible for all? A longitudinal evaluation of the digital accessibility of all Australian university websites
University websites are essential platforms for disseminating information and facilitating online education. While existing research has identified accessibility gaps in Oceania’s higher education institutions, there remains a limited understanding of persistent barriers and insufficient continuous evaluation practices. This study addresses these gaps by conducting a two-phase accessibility evaluation (2022–2024) of 42 Australian university websi…
Social media influencers and followers’ loneliness: The mediating roles of parasocial relationship, sense of belonging, and social support
Purpose Prior research examines how social media use in general affects experiences of loneliness, but few studies have investigated the specific effects of interaction with social media influencers on loneliness and well-being. The study investigates how followers’ interaction with social media influencers affects loneliness through mediation mechanisms underlying this process. Design/methodology/approach An online survey was adopted using Qualt…
Shifting the belief of the “hard-to-reach parents” to “reachable parents”: Parent-teacher collaboration within schools in a post-colonial country
Interacting with Indigenous parents effectively can be a challenge for primary school teachers, regardless of their teaching experience. Unfortunately, within schools in post-colonial countries, teachers often perceive that this challenge exists because Indigenous parents are hard-to-reach or unresponsive to their children’s educational needs. With the intention of dismantling these destructive colonial views towards Indigenous groups, this pheno…
An integrated model of congruence and credibility in celebrity endorsement
Based on psychological theories of associative learning and self-concept, this study proposes an integrated conceptual framework of dual-path relationships between two types of congruence (product-celebrity congruence vs. self-celebrity congruence) and two dimensions of source credibility (endorser expertise vs. endorser trustworthiness), and their impact on advertising effectiveness in celebrity endorsement. Path analysis using data from college…

Uprooted from Everything that Attaches You’: Long-Term Outcomes of Former Child Migrants in Care in the Twentieth Century in Australia
This article reports the in-care and post-care experience of people who lived in Australian child-welfare systems as children from 1930 to 1989. The research utilised a mixed-methods design including surveys, interviews and focus groups, and the sample comprised over 700 care-leavers across Australia. This manuscript reports specifically on the experience of the British Child Migrant cohort within the study. Their experience was often characteris…
On toleration in social work
Toleration is one of many responses towards diversity and difference. With the growing diversity, the theme of toleration has often taken centre stage in discussions of multiculturalism and social pluralism. Nonetheless, it has not received much attention in the social work profession. Social workers often encounter situations in which they face a choice between tolerating and not tolerating. We argue that toleration is a legitimate and relevant …
Survey research with preliterate adult populations in post conflict situations using researcher-assisted self-completion questionnaires
This paper presents an innovative and effective approach for conducting surveys with preliterate adults in a context of limited infrastructure in post conflict Burundi, Africa. We conducted surveys with parents/carers of children with a disability and community members, as a component of mixed methods research with children and adults to provide baseline data for Handicap International in developing programs to prevent sexual abuse among children…
The Relationship Between Student Engagement and Academic Performance: Is It a Myth or Reality?
The author examined the relationship between student engagement and academic performance, using U.S. data of the Program for International Student Assessment 2000. The sample comprised 3,268 fifteen-year-old students from 121 U.S. schools. Multilevel analysis showed that behavioral engagement (defined as effort and perseverance in learning) and emotional engagement (defined as sense of belonging) significantly predicted reading performance. The e…
Accomplishing family reunification for children in care: An Australian study
Whilst child protection systems are concerned with removal of children from their families in the interests of safety, the capacity of child welfare systems to return children safely to their families of origin is of central importance. The multidimensional standardised assessment tool, the North Carolina Family Assessment Scale—Reunification (NCFAS-R) was used by practitioners to assess family strengths and needs in case planning and reunificati…
The effects of the teacher–student relationship and academic press on student engagement and academic performance

The majority of respondents had permanent positions and over half of them were working part-time. The number of schools serviced was wide-ranging and the median was 6 schools. The major funding source was state government, the primary referral sources were school staff, and the primary reasons for referral …
A Controlled Trial of the Making Choices Program: Six-Month Follow-Up
Objective: Six-month follow-up outcomes from a controlled trial of a program designed to prevent aggressive behavior in childhood are described.

The Year 2 cohort received the Making Choices program. The Year 3 cohort received the Making Choices program plus enhancements to p…
How Collegial Can They Be: Church Offices in the Korean Presbyterian Churches
Calvin's fourfold office in Geneva was designed to fulfill the goals of church ministry, namely, education and discipline, in order to help the church and Christians to bear their distinctive marks. It represented a collaborative ministry of pastor and laity that demonstrated, to a great extent, parity and collegiality among offices. It is widely observed that Korean Presbyterian churches lack a sense of parity and collegiality among offices, par…
Parent Involvement, Cultural Capital, and the Achievement Gap Among Elementary School Children
This study examined the level and impact of five types of parent involvement on elementary school children's academic achievement by race/ethnicity, poverty, and parent educational attainment. The sample comprised 415 third through fifth graders who completed the Elementary School Success Profile. Hypotheses from Bourdieu's theory of cultural capital were assessed with t tests, chi-square statistics, and hierarchical regressions. Consistent with …
Sex, Violence, and Consonance/Differentiation: An Analysis of Local TV News Values
This study of duplication and differentiation in local television news indicates that local producers show a preference for sensational stories that feature acts of sex and violence and are easy to explain. Local television news shows little differentiation in topical areas of these stories built of concrete fact, but it tends to differentiate more in soft news topics
