Unveiling mechanisms of change
Lebanon’s multi-layered crisis - marked by regional conflict, economic collapse, the COVID-19 pandemic, and the 2020 Beirut Port Blast - has severely affected the psychosocial well-being of Syrian refugee children in Beirut. In response to the blast, a global psychosocial support intervention, the Better Learning Programme (BLP), was adapted into a targeted, short-term program delivered by five counselors, reaching 1,100 Syrian refugee children o…
Post-traumatic growth following the death of a parent from homicide
Although there is considerable research into the impact of homicide on surviving family members, research is limited on subjective experiences of those who lost a parent due to homicide during childhood. Through interpretative phenomenological analysis, we conducted and analyzed in-depth semi-structured interviews, to explore lived experiences and perspectives of post-traumatic growth with adults who lost a parent due to homicide as a child. We d…
Are women really (not) more talkative than men? A registered report of binary gender similarities/differences in daily word use
Women are widely assumed to be more talkative than men. Challenging this assumption, Mehl et al. (2007) provided empirical evidence that men and women do not differ significantly in their daily word use, speaking about 16,000 words per day (WPD) each. However, concerns were raised that their sample was too small to yield generalizable estimates and too age and context homogeneous to permit inferences beyond college students. This registered repor…
(Re)construction of Identity and resilience among Afghan and Hazara adolescents following forced migration
This paper explores [re]construction of a sense of identity and resilience among Hazara and Afghan adolescents from refugee backgrounds following migration to Australia. We conducted a qualitative study involving ten adolescents and six parents. Findings demonstrated that adolescents perceived themselves as resilient with a sense of agency and determination core to this identity. Our analysis also showed the substantial influence of seeking and f…
Domestic and Family Violence Affecting Children and Young People from Culturally and Racially Marginalized Migrant Backgrounds in Australia
In Australia, children and families from culturally and racially marginalized (CARM) migrant backgrounds experience a range of compounding structural and interpersonal factors that limit help-seeking and exacerbate the impacts of domestic and family violence (DFV). This scoping review examines the current state of knowledge on how children and young people from CARM migrant backgrounds experience DFV, and the services that respond to DFV includin…
Sense of identity among young people with refugee backgrounds
Multiple risk factors associated with the forced migration journey may adversely affect the identity development of young people with refugee backgrounds.Relatively little is known however, regarding how young people perceive their identity following the refugee experience and how their interactions with the environment influence this perception. To address this gap, this scoping review, which included 28 peer-reviewed articles from 2000-2020, ex…
Crafting Subverses
Purpose Losing a parent due to intimate partner homicide is a traumatic experience, exacerbated by homicide and the associated grief being a taboo in many western cultures. This study investigated the experiences of young people and adults bereaved by parental intimate partner homicide during childhood, to gain a better understanding of how they make sense of and share their personal story after such a loss. Methods Within the context of a larger…
Applying a Socio-Ecological Model to Understanding the Needs of Children and Young People Bereaved by Intimate Partner Homicide across their Life Course

Method The study draws on in-depth interviews from three different informants: those with lived experience (LE) (10); caregivers (12); and professionals (10). In addition to the 10 interviews with those bereaved by maternal IPH, …
That weird kid without parents”
Purpose Bereavement through parental intimate partner homicide (IPH) is a unique form of complex trauma that may disrupt and destabilise identity in surviving children. This qualitative study aimed to generate a better understanding of post-homicide experiences and needs in the context of identity to improve support for these neglected victim-survivors. Methods Semi-structured interviews were conducted in Australia with 12 participants aged 16 to…

Child participation in disaster resilience education
Purpose Children can play an active and valuable role to minimise disaster risks and vulnerabilities. Yet, peer-reviewed literature on child participation in Disaster Resilience Education (DRE) is lacking. This knowledge gap is larger in low- and middle-income countries, especially related to vulnerable communities. The current study explores how child participation in developing and delivering a DRE intervention is associated with their mental w…
Think Big
The field of participatory research with children developed largely thanks to shared learning between different cultures, places, and disciplines. However, grand narratives and power relationships in academia inherited from colonialism and imperialism can threaten to obstruct the transformative value of this approach. In this article, we present the case of Think Big, a multinational collaboration for participatory research with children that inv…

Accounts and their epistemic implications
We examine how “I don’t know” answers provided by children in psychological research interviews on trauma recovery talk are received. We analyse the two main ways in which these answers are taken up by the psychologist. Both are hearable as offering an account for the child, but carry different implications. Where the first account claims access to what can legitimately be remembered, the second steers away from this ‘sensitive’ epistemic course …
A Comparison of Parent and Child Narratives of Children’s Recovery From Trauma
Little is known about correspondence between parents’ and children’s narratives after a child’s exposure to trauma. We examined 24 parent and child narratives of a child’s recovery using Linguistic Inquiry and Word Count, a software program that yields the percentage of words that fall into linguistic categories (e.g., personal pronouns) and psychological categories (e.g., emotion words). Analyses revealed significant parent–child associations fo…
Rates of post-traumatic stress disorder in trauma-exposed children and adolescents
BACKGROUND: It is unclear how many children and adolescents develop post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) after trauma. AIMS: To determine the incidence of PTSD in trauma-exposed children and adolescents as assessed with well-established diagnostic interviews and to examine potential moderators of the estimate. METHOD: A systematic literature search identified 72 peer-reviewed articles on 43 independent samples (n = 3563). Samples consisting only…

Posttraumatic growth in children and youth
Posttraumatic growth (PTG), positive change resulting from the struggle with trauma, has garnered significant attention in the literature on adults. Recently, the research base has begun to extend downward, and this literature indicates that youth also evidence PTG-like changes. Researchers have sought to assess the construct, examine its correlates, and understand the factors that contribute to PTG in youth. Drawing from this work, this article …
Using qualitative evidence to optimize child PTSD treatment guidelines
The importance of patients’ perspectives in the treatment of posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) is increasingly emphasized in recent years. However, qualitative evidence regarding these perspectives, is not systematically included in treatment guidelines. The possibilities of adding systematically aggregated recipients’ views are examined in this paper, with a focus on children and adolescents. We reanalyzed a qualitative synthesis of the exper…

Measuring Posttraumatic Stress Reactions in Children
I'll be working my way back
Children who experience some kind of traumatic event, such as losing a sibling, witnessing war, or being the victim of abuse or an accident, all have the need to process this event. Few theories exist about the development of posttraumatic stress disorder, specifically in traumatized children. Therefore, a synthesis of qualitative research is conducted in which the available qualitative studies on the children’s perspective on traumatic experienc…
