  • Characterising Maternal Sensitivity in a High Risk, Peri-urban LMIC Context

    Open AccessAnita Prag, Nádia C Hoffman et al.ARTICLEChild Psychiatry & Human…2026

    A prolific amount of data regarding maternal sensitivity and child development outcomes comes from high income, industrialised western contexts. Sparse attention has been paid to characterising patterns or unique expressions of sensitivity as an independent topic of study globally with a glaring dearth of comparative data from LMICs including sub-Saharan Africa. We aimed to detail maternal sensitivity within the dyadic interaction between mother …

  • Investigating protective factors that boost resilience in children from low- and middle-income countries

    Joannes S H de Leeuw, Susan Malcolm-SmithARTICLEVulnerable Children and Youth…2023

    Many children growing up in low- and middle-income countries (LMICs) are at a particular risk for poor developmental outcomes and can face many adverse circumstances growing up. Generally, the psychosocial risk factors affecting the development of these vulnerable children are well-described but research on protective factors that can buffer these risks and boost their psychological resilience seems to be lacking in LMICs. This scoping review exa…

  • Mental health and adaptive functioning among school-aged children living with HIV in Zambia

    Open AccessLisa Kalungwana, Susan Malcolm-Smith et al.ARTICLEFrontiers in Psychiatry2022

    Challenges to mental health and adaptive functioning are still pervasive among CLWHIV. These findings support the need to develop support mechanisms for CLWHIV to help address mental health and adaptive functioning problems, especially as they progress into adolescence

  • Pupillary and Attentional Responses to Infant Facial Expressions in Mothers Across Socioeconomic Variations

    Open AccessSanteri Yrttiaho, Belinda Bruwer et al.ARTICLEChild Development2021

    Maternal responses to infant facial expressions were examined in two socioeconomically diverse samples of South African mothers (Study I, N = 111; and Study II, N = 214; age: 17–44 years) using pupil and gaze tracking. Study I showed increased pupil response to infant distress expressions in groups recruited from private as compared to public maternity clinics, possibly reflecting underlying differences in socioeconomic status (SES) across the gr…

  • Subjective awareness scale length influences the prevalence, not the presence, of graded conscious states

  • A quasi-experimental comparison of spreadsheet- and classroom-based statistics tutorials

    Open AccessWarren King, Susan Malcolm-Smith et al.ARTICLESouth African Journal of Psychology2013Referencias: 17

    This article reports an evaluation of a set of eight spreadsheet-based tutorials developed for the statistics portion of an undergraduate psychology research methods course. The evaluation involved a quasi-experimental comparison of spreadsheet-based and traditional classroom teaching methods in a course that gave equal teaching time to both solutions, and took the unique approach of investigating both outcomes-based and attitudinal measures in t…

  • Incidence of Threat in Dreams

    Susan Malcolm-Smith, Mark SolmsARTICLEDreaming2004

    A. Revonsuo (2000b) proposed an evolutionary theory of dreaming, stating it is a threat simulation mechanism that allowed early humans to rehearse threat perception and avoidance without biological cost. The present study aimed to establish the proportion of dreams containing physical threats to the dreamer, whether these represent realistic life-threatening events, and whether the dreamer successfully and realistically escapes. It also examined …
