  • “On Grindr you’re selling body”

    Open AccessZac Bowman, Murray Drummond et al.ARTICLEBody Image2026

    Growing concern over the disproportionately high prevalence of body image and wellbeing issues among sexual minority men has prompted researchers to investigate the factors contributing to these disparities. One such potential source of these concerns are mobile dating applications (apps), of which sexual minority men are the most frequent users. Recent literature has led researchers to argue that gay dating apps (dating apps marketed towards sex…

    Open AccessXingcheng He, Ivanka Prichard et al.ARTICLEBody Image2026

    Body image significantly impacts the psychological and physical well-being of breast cancer survivors, with cultural factors shaping its expression and effects. This study aimed to examine the cultural differences in positive and negative body image of female breast cancer survivors in Australia (N = 338) and China (N = 116) and their associations with well-being. We assessed a path model examining how self-objectification, mindful self-care, and…

  • The impact of fitness and supplement TikTok content on body, nutrition and fitness satisfaction, and intentions to use muscle-building substances in young men

    Open AccessNepheli Beos, Eva Kemps et al.ARTICLEBody Image2026

    Social media use has been linked to body image concerns and engagement in appearance-altering behaviours in men. The present online study aimed to experimentally examine the impact of idealised TikTok content on body satisfaction, nutrition satisfaction, fitness satisfaction, and intentions to use muscle-building substances in young men. A sample of 282 participants who identified as male were randomly allocated to one of three conditions (fitnes…

  • Psychometric evaluation of Body Appreciation Scale for Children short forms among Australian children

    Open AccessPhilippa Granfield, Eva Kemps et al.ARTICLEBody Image2026

    The Body Appreciation Scale-2 for Children (BAS-2C) is a widely used, psychometrically robust measure of body appreciation in children. However, in time-limited or school-based settings, briefer measures may reduce participant burden and improve data quality. This study examined the psychometric properties of two three-item trait short forms of body appreciation among Australian children aged 10-12 years (N = 303), using data from a larger projec…

  • Inflammatory Bowel Disease and Its Unique Impact on Body Image

    Open AccessMia L Pellizzer, Réme Mountifield et al.ARTICLEJournal of Clinical Psychology2026

    OBJECTIVE: There is increasing interest in the relationship between inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) and body image. Quantitative research demonstrates a high level of body image dissatisfaction among individuals with IBD that is related to poorer quality of life and mental health disorders including depression, anxiety, and eating disorders. However, there remains a gap in our understanding of how patients with IBD qualitatively experience their…

  • Unlocking a sporting club’s potential

    Open AccessKate Rasheed, Jasmine M Petersen et al.ARTICLEQualitative Research in Sport and…2025

    Community youth sporting clubs in Australia may play an important role in addressing poor youth mental health, yet their involvement in mental health initiatives remains limited. With previous research focusing predominately on a coaches’ role in mental health promotion, limited attention has been given to the broader club environment. A whole club approach considers individual, relational and systematic factors influencing a club’s engagement in…

  • Behavioural and psychological factors associated with pre-frailty in community-dwelling adults aged 40 and over

    Open AccessTom H Brennan, Lucy K Lewis et al.ARTICLEBMC Public Health2025

    Frailty and pre-frailty are major public health concerns. While frailty is typically associated with older adults, evidence suggests that pre-frailty commonly starts in middle-age. This study examined associations between behavioural and psychological correlates of pre-frailty and frailty in adults from 40 years to help identify at-risk individuals and inform interventions. Participants (N = 321, mean age = 56 (10.55), 83% female) completed quest…

  • Examining the promotion of mental health and wellbeing in Australian sports clubs

    Open AccessJasmine M Petersen, Murray Drummond et al.ARTICLESport Education and Society2025References: 33

    Organised sport is increasingly recognised as a culturally acceptable site for mental health and wellbeing promotion. To date, however, there is limited knowledge pertaining to how exactly mental health and wellbeing is supported in such contexts. The present study aimed to provide insight into mental health and wellbeing promotion practices in Australian sports clubs. An online cross-sectional survey examined the current provision of mental heal…

  • Vending machine backgrounds

    Open AccessRyan Calabro, Eva Kemps et al.ARTICLECurrent Psychology2024

    Soft drink overconsumption is a growing public health concern. The present research investigated whether priming nudges could decrease soft drink choices from a vending machine. We compared the effect of six vending machine wraps (Mount Franklin TM logo, Coca-ColaTM logo, picture of water, picture of soft drink, blue, red) on beverage choice against a black (control) computerised vending machine display. In two studies, young adult participants (…

  • Staff perceptions of support for early menarche in Australian primary schools

    Open AccessOlivia M Bellas, Monique A Mulholland et al.ARTICLESex Education2024

    The age of the onset of menstruation, termed menarche, has been declining for decades worldwide. Approximately 12% of Australian girls reach menarche between eight to 11 years of age. Current health and physical education subject guidelines from the Australian Curriculum Assessment and Reporting Authority state that puberty education should be introduced to students between year levels five to six (ages 10–12) when many have already begun puberty…

  • I'll have what She's having (but not what They're having)

    Open AccessJuliana Marie Gleaves, Eva Kemps et al.ARTICLEAppetite2024References: 39

    The modern food-rich environment has contributed to the rise of unhealthy diets linked to noncommunicable diseases. Previous in-person research has found that the effect of social norms on food intake is greater when set by a perceived in-group member relative to an out-group member. Given recent increased social media use, we investigated whether this effect of group membership extends to food choices and to normative information presented remot…

  • Hashtag fitspiration

    Open AccessRachel G Curtis, Ivanka Prichard et al.ARTICLEBMC Public Health2023

    While many popular Instagram fitspiration accounts offered credible content such as example workouts, many accounts contained sexualisation, objectification or promotion of unhealthy or unrealistic body shapes. The audit tool could be used by Instagram users to ensure the accounts they follow do not portray potentially harmful or unhealthy content. Future research could use the audit tool to identify credible fitspiration accounts and examine whe…

  • Level playing field

    Open AccessMurray Drummond, Ben Wadham et al.ARTICLEBMC Public Health2022

    In Australia, and throughout the world, it is evident that the mental health and wellbeing of young males aged 15-24, is not a priority. In Australia suicide is the leading cause of death in people aged 15-24 years and 75% are male (Australian Institute of Health and Welfare. Australian hospital statistics 2011-12, 2021). It is clear young males as well as those who identify as indigenous or LGBTIQ are at risk groups with respect to self arm and …
