  • Evaluating a Mindfulness Induction for Coping with Social Exclusion in Emerging Adults who Engage in Non-Suicidal Self-Injury

    Open AccessAmanda Simundic, Julia Petrovic et al.ARTICLEPsychological Reports2025

    Previous research suggests that individuals who engage in non-suicidal self-injury (NSSI) experience heightened sensitivity to social stressors such as exclusion. Mindfulness practice may buffer social stress among the general population, but whether it functions differently among those who engage in NSSI remains unclear. This experimental study sought to investigate the effects of a mindfulness induction relative to a control task as a buffer ag…

  • Dimensions of Emotion Regulation as Mediators of the Relationship Between Emotion Controllability Beliefs With Stress and Well-Being

    Open AccessSamira Moumne, Julia Petrovic et al.ARTICLEPsychological Reports2024

    Although beliefs about the extent to which emotions are amenable versus immutable to control (i.e., implicit theories of emotion) have been linked to various mental health indices, mediators of this relationship remain unclear. This study extends prior research by examining dimensions of emotion regulation (ER) difficulties as parallel mediators in the relationship between emotion controllability beliefs and stress and well-being among university…

This study sought to assess the needs of teachers in supporting students' ER, through a better understanding of teachers' perceptions and use of healthy versus unhealthy ER strategies in the classroom. METHODS: Primary school teachers (n = 212; 91% female) complet…

  • The Effectiveness of a Mindfulness Induction as a Buffer Against Stress Among University Students With and Without a History of Self-Injury

    Open AccessJulia Petrovic, Laurianne Bastien et al.ARTICLEPsychological Reports2022

    Stressful experiences are abundant in university and students with a history of nonsuicidal self-injury (NSSI) may be hyper-reactive to stress. While brief mindfulness inductions have been proposed as a buffer against acute stress, whether they function differently in students with a history of NSSI remains in question. This study sought to explore the impact of an online mindfulness induction on (a) two facets of state mindfulness (i.e., mind an…
