Personality, Jealousy, and Empathy as Predictors of Cyber Dating Abuse Perpetration and Victimization in Young Adults
Cyber dating abuse involves psychological and relationally harmful behaviours enacted through digital technologies within romantic relationships. Although prior research links dispositional variables to cyber dating abuse, perpetration and victimisation frequently co-occur, complicating the interpretation of individual differences. This study examined associations among personality traits, romantic jealousy, empathy, and gender with psychological…
Neutral attitude toward the utilization of psychedelic therapy for depression in the United Kingdom population
The UK public's attitude toward PAT is neither strongly favourable nor unfavourable on average at the present time, potentially emanating from low domain knowledge and/or concern about the safety, efficacy, and social desirability of PAT. The neutrality of the UK's attitudes underscores the importance of scientific research and medical communication to inform the public's understanding of the risks and benefits of this novel class of mental healt…
A longitudinal study of sensory and quasi-sensory experiences following bereavement using interpretative phenomenological analysis
This longitudinal qualitative study describes the lived experience of 'sensory and quasi-sensory experiences of the deceased' following bereavement. Ten semi-structured interviews were conducted with four bereaved individuals at 6-12 months, 12-18 months, and 18-24 months post-bereavement. Following transcription, interpretative phenomenological analysis (IPA) of each account allowed for a description and interpretation of recursive and processua…
Perceptions of Mental Health, Shame and Help‐Seeking Among Sikhs in the UK
To understand UK Sikh community's perceptions of mental health shame, their attitudes towards mental health causes, treatments and help‐seeking and the characteristics associated with these perceptions. An anonymous, online survey collected views from 1001 Sikh respondents on the causes and treatments for mental health (MH) difficulties and perceived barriers to help‐seeking. The Attitudes to Mental Health Problems (ATMHP) questionnaire also meas…

Interventions Aimed at Alleviating Loneliness and Social Isolation among the Older Population
Background. Older people are one of the groups particularly vulnerable to loneliness due to factors such as deteriorating health, widowhood and death of friends/family, fewer confiding relationships, and being more likely to live alone. In the United Kingdom, services to alleviate and/or prevent loneliness can be classified as foundation services, direct interventions, gateway services, and structural enablers. Service managers and personnel invo…
The roles of motivational interviewing and self‐efficacy on outcomes and cost‐effectiveness of a community‐based exercise intervention for inactive middle‐older aged adults
Increasing physical activity (PA) among inactive middle-older aged adults in rural communities is challenging. This study investigates the efficacy of a PA intervention supporting inactive adults in rural/semirural communities. Inactive participants enrolled on either a single signposting session (n =427) or a multisession pathway combining signposting with motivational interviewing (MI; n = 478). Pre-post outcomes data assessed activity levels (…
A Research Note on the Influence of Relationship Length and Sex on Preferences for Altruistic and Cooperative Mates
Previous literature suggests that altruism may have evolved as a sexually selectable trait. Recent research suggests that women seek altruistic traits for long-term, not short-term relationships, as altruism can serve as an honest signal of one's character. We tested this hypothesis by asking 102 participants to complete a modified version of Buss's Mate Preferences Questionnaire. We found that women placed higher importance on altruism in a mate…
Cross-cultural validation of the Perceptions of Stigmatization by Others for Seeking Help (PSOSH) Scale
Social network stigma refers to the perceived negative views about seeking help for mental health problems that are held by those closest to an individual, such as family and friends. This form of stigma predicts help-seeking attitudes and intentions beyond other forms of stigma, and is predominantly measured using the Perceptions of Stigmatization by Others for Seeking Help scale (PSOSH; Vogel, Wade, & Ascheman, 2009). However, the PSOSH was nor…
Autonomous motivation mediates the relation between goals for physical activity and physical activity behavior in adolescents
Overall, 544 children (mean age ± standard deviation = 14.2 ± .94 years) completed self-report measures of physical activity goal content, behavioral regulations, and physical activity behavior. Body mass index was determined from height and mass. The indirect effect of intrinsic goal content on physical activity was statistically significant via autonomous ( b = 162.27; 95% confidence interval [89.73, 244.70]), but not controlled motivation ( b …
Attitude Towards Mental Illness in Southeastern Nigeria
The effect of mental illness stigma can be greater in the developing world where sufferers are additionally affected by destitution. This study investigated the attitudes of the Igbo people of Southeastern Nigeria toward mental illness to establish the extent and determinants of negative attitudes. Multistage sampling was used to select participants ( n = 602), to whom questionnaires were administered. More than half of all the demographic groups…
Pathways to mental healthcare in south-eastern Nigeria
In sub-Saharan Africa, traditional and faith healers provide competing services alongside biomedical professionals. This may be associated with delays in reaching specialised mental health services, and hence with longer duration of untreated illness. As first line care constitutes a crucial stage in accessing of psychiatric care, investigating pathways to mental healthcare can highlight help-seeking choices. This study explored the pathways to c…
Causal attribution of mental illness in south-eastern Nigeria
BACKGROUND: Understanding of mental illness in sub-Saharan Africa has remained under-researched in spite of the high and increasing neuropsychiatric burden of disease in the region. AIMS: This study investigated the causal beliefs that the Igbo people of south-eastern Nigeria hold about schizophrenia, with a view to establishing the extent to which the population makes psychosocial, biological and supernatural attributions. METHOD: Multi-stage sa…
Investigating the Facebook experience through Q Methodology
Several recent studies have explored social networking sites, such as Facebook, in light of the uses and gratifications approach. However, research has tended to ignore the latter part of this paradigm. This article uses Q methodology to explore user experiences of Facebook, allowing further exploration of gratification from site usage. Four distinct viewpoints were found: Facebook as a superficial environment; Facebook as a valid and valuable so…
Individual Differences as Predictors of Social Networking
Research suggests that personality dictates specific Internet preferences. One area that remains relatively unexplored is the influence of personality on engagement with social networking sites (SNSs). The current study employs a ‘Uses and Gratifications’ framework to investigate whether personality, age, and sex predict motivations for using SNSs. The study explores both global and specific factors of personality using Eysenck's EPQ-R short form…
Subclinical delusional ideation and appreciation of sample size and heterogeneity in statistical judgment
Previous studies demonstrate that people high in delusional ideation exhibit a data‐gathering bias on inductive reasoning tasks. The current study set out to investigate the factors that may underpin such a bias by examining healthy individuals, classified as either high or low scorers on the Peters et al. Delusions Inventory (PDI). More specifically, whether high PDI scorers have a relatively poor appreciation of sample size and heterogeneity wh…
Subclinical delusional ideation and a self-reference bias in everyday reasoning
Previous studies (e.g.Moller & Husby, 2000;Blackwoodet al., 2004) have revealed that delusional thinking is accompanied by an exaggerated focus upon the self and upon stimuli that are perceived to be related to the self. The objective was to examine whether those high in subclinical delusional ideation exhibit a heightened tendency for self-reference. Using a mixed design, healthy individuals, classified into high- and low-scoring groups on the P…
