Research relationalities
Purpose The challenge of recruiting participants from hidden and hard-to-reach groups to sensitive qualitative interviews is well-established. This article brings together recent thinking on trauma-informed research and research relationalities to consider methods of reaching diverse populations effectively and ethically. Design/methodology/approach The article draws from a research study on gender-based violence (GBV) in higher education in Irel…
Evaluation of a sex-positive, youth-centred online pornography literacy intervention for adolescents
A range of pornography literacy programmes and interventions exist to address some of the developmental concerns prompted by adolescent pornography use. Interventions to date have typically developed in line within a harm reduction approach. However, contemporary youth-centred frameworks for literacy more generally suggest that pornography literacy interventions could also contribute towards more positive outcomes for adolescents. However, this h…
How I Learned About Consent ”
Research-based theatre is a promising medium for sex-positive sexuality education, fostering attitudinal change while minimizing traumatisation. Future work should explore long-term impacts and integrate mixed methods for deeper insights
Barriers and recommendations for parent–child conversations about pornography
We discuss the implications of these findings and present recommendations for developing a parents' pornography education resource
Using Communication Stories to Explore How Young People Draw on Sexual Scripts When Making Sense of Sexual Consent
Patterns of Sexual Harassment
This study explores how identifying with multiple minority groups relates to sexual harassment victimization (SHV) among students in higher education institutions in Ireland ( n = 6,002). Results show that gender nonconforming and female students were more likely than males to experience SHV. Bisexual or queer and gay or lesbian students were more likely than their heterosexual peers to experience SHV. Students with a physical or cognitive disabi…
Development of a Measure to Assess What Young Heterosexual Adults Say They Learn About Sex from Pornography
This study involved the development of two new measures to assess what some young heterosexual-identifying adults report learning about sex from pornography. Inventory items were generated from an extensive literature review and six qualitative focus group sessions with young adults ( N = 54) aged 18–29 which explored how pornography could be used as a source of sexual information. A total of 135 items pertaining to sexual learning from pornograp…
Using vignette methodology to study comfort with consensual and nonconsensual depictions of pornography content
Spanking, whipping, and choking are examples of aggressive behaviours that can be performed in consensual sexual encounters. However, within the pornography research literature, such behaviours are often perceived as being nonconsensual, categorised as ‘violent’, and argued to predict sexual aggression. Viewing nonconsensual pornography may be associated with negative attitudes towards consent; however, viewing consensual pornography that feature…
Coming-Out Experiences of Irish Gay Fathers Who Have Been Heterosexually Married
This study explores how Irish gay fathers, who married heterosexually in a heteronormative culture, assumed a settled gay identity in the Republic of Ireland. A purposive sample of nine men reflected on their experiences of marriage and separation, assuming a gay identity, and social and familial connectivity. Interpretative phenomenological analysis (IPA) indicated the suppression of gay sexual desires before marriage as a result of cultural hom…
Dissatisfaction with school sex education is not associated with using pornography for sexual information
This study explored the frequently held belief that pornography use for sexual information occurs in the absence of good sex education and examined whether such a relationship was moderated by a person’s sexual orientation. A more general goal for the study was to explore pornography viewing habits of Irish university students. Cross-sectional quantitative data were collected from a convenience sample of Irish university students, aged 18–24 year…
Toward a Model of Porn Literacy
Although some positive outcomes for pornography engagement have been highlighted, researchers and educators have also expressed concerns about youth pornography engagement and have called for porn literacy education to be incorporated into sex education programs. As yet, there is lack of agreement regarding intervention development. This study aimed to engage participants in the identification of relevant curriculum content. Participatory methods…
Adolescent adjustment to maternal cancer
Purpose As an Interpretative Phenomenological Analysis (IPA), the purpose of this paper is to provide an in-depth understanding of adolescent experiences of maternal cancer to identify the individual and contextual factors that shape adolescent experiences and evaluates the potential applicability of the Family Ecology Model to the illness context. Design/methodology/approach This analysis is focussed on three female adolescents who completed sem…
The Experience and Meaning of Problematic ‘G’ (GHB/GBL) Use in an Irish Context
Freedom, Invisibility, and Community
Adolescent acculturation experiences
Process and Positive Development
Volunteering among university students is an important expression of civic engagement, but the impact of this experience on the development of emerging adults requires further contextualization. Adopting interpretative phenomenological analysis as a qualitative research approach, we carried out semistructured interviews with 10 students of one Irish university who were highly engaged in volunteering. Their experience of volunteering unfolded thro…
Keeping Your Balance
Binge drinking is a focus for concerns about young women's alcohol consumption at university. Twenty females, all regular binge drinkers, were interviewed individually and in focus groups to explore alcohol beliefs and exposure to harm. Four themes were identified in a thematic analysis. Alcohol use was associated with freedom but regulated by group norms. Drinking to excess was stigmatized as an abuse of freedom, yet the threshold for excess was…
We Need to Get You Focused
Although subject to considerable research from perspectives including general practitioners, patients, and perspective guidelines, chronic low back pain (CLBP) continues to be a common but contentious condition in primary care. We used medical consultation records, critical incident interviews, and a think-aloud problem-solving task to examine how general practitioners applied professional knowledge of the condition, especially in relation to psy…
The Give and Take of Volunteering
Volunteers are integral to the delivery of health and social services in many countries. Volunteer motivation is the key phenomenon around which research into the psychology of volunteering behaviour has been based in the recent past. This study comprised interviews with 26 volunteers working with eight health and social care organizations in Ireland. The study aimed to describe and interpret reasons for initial and continued volunteering involve…
