Their wellbeing affects our wellbeing
A “whole university approach” has been recommended for addressing concerns about the wellbeing of UK university lecturers and students. Previously, staff wellbeing has been explored from staff perspectives. Student wellbeing has been explored from the perspectives of both students and staff. However, little research has been conducted on student perspectives on staff wellbeing and its possible impact on students. Addressing this gap, this study e…
Student perspectives on their digital footprint in virtual learning environments
The prevalence of mental distress among young adults, including those at university, has increased. In this context, learning analytics, students’ digital trace data, are increasingly being used to understand student mental health. In line with calls for more research on learning analytics from student perspectives, as part of a broader focus group study, 44 undergraduate students from three United Kingdom universities were invited to consider ho…
A Qualitative Evaluation of the Motivations, Experiences, and Impact of a Mental Wellbeing Peer Support Group for Black University Students in England and Wales
Online peer support programs could address mental wellbeing concerns reported by Black students. The current evaluation explored Black university students’ motivations, experiences, and perceived impacts of an online mental wellbeing peer support group (Black Students Talk [BST]) in England and Wales. We conducted two focus groups with Black Students Talk attendees and one with facilitators. Data were analyzed using inductive thematic analysis. T…
Student Perceptions of Online Education during Covid-19 Lockdowns
The COVID-19 pandemic forced an abrupt transition to fully online learning in universities that typically provided campus-based teaching. We examined the learning experience of undergraduate and postgraduate students during this transition at a UK university. Qualitative surveys and interview responses revealed both direct effects of the transition to online learning and indirect effects caused by the COVID-19 induced lockdown. Direct effects rel…
The impact of the first Covid-19 lockdown in the UK for doctoral and early career researchers
Doctoral researchers and early career researchers (ECRs) are crucial to producing scientific advancements and represent the future of academic leadership. Their research endeavours were changed radically by lockdowns in response to the COVID-19 pandemic. The aim of this study was to explore the perceived benefits and challenges of the national lockdown in the UK from the perspective of doctoral researchers and ECRs. We present analysis of qualita…
A Case Study Investigating Mental Wellbeing of University Academics during the Covid-19 Pandemic
COVID-19 has impacted Higher Education worldwide. While several studies have examined the effects of the pandemic on students, few have addressed its impact on academic staff. Here, we present both survey (n = 89) and interview (n = 12) data highlighting the pandemic-induced effects on academics from various disciplines and career stages. Data was collected between May and September 2020, aiming to capture and understand the immediate effects of …
It's Not Just What We Encode, but How We Encode It
OBJECTIVE: Neuroticism is a strong predictor of future mental health problems. The informativeness of this association has been questioned because of the limited understanding of the mechanisms underlying Neuroticism. In this article the authors extend our understanding of the association between information processing and Neuroticism. METHOD: Two independent studies involving separate sets of college students (N = 89 and N = 33), use self-rated …
