The effect of perceived responsibility on stigma toward people experiencing food insecurity and accessing food support
Open AccessNatalie Taylor, N M Taylor et al.ARTICLEFrontiers in Public Health2026
Introduction: University students are disproportionately at risk of food insecurity, and subsequent poor physical and mental health and low academic performance. However, students may not access food support due to associated stigma. Stigma toward people experiencing food insecurity is thought to partly originate from negative media stories which highlight the driving role of internal responsibility, despite research suggesting that external fact…
Associations Between Psilocybin Use Motives and Cognitive, Affective, and Behavioural Self-Stigma
Open AccessGraeme Knibb, Ruby Ward et al.ARTICLESubstance Use & Misuse2026
Background: Self-stigma refers to the internalization of negative societal beliefs and has been associated with reduced self-efficacy, self-esteem and treatment avoidance among substance users. However, little research has explored antecedents of self-stigma such as substance use motives. This may be particularly salient for psilocybin which is used both as a therapeutic agent and a recreational substance and these different motivations for use m…
Lack of Premeditation, Negative Urgency and Sensation Seeking Are Associated with Lifetime Use of Different Psychoactive Substances
Open AccessMark Randle, Paul Christiansen et al.ARTICLESubstance Use & Misuse2026
Background: Impulsivity, anxiety and depression are factors that have previously been associated with the use of various drugs of abuse that have been investigated in isolation. However, little is known about the influence of these variables on the number of different substances tried at least once over a lifetime (i.e. polysubstance use). Objectives: We aimed to assess how facets of trait impulsivity, anxiety and depression pose as risk factors …
A retrospective exploration of care experiences shaping the mental health trajectories of children and young people in care
Open AccessSally Peplow, Paul Christiansen et al.ARTICLEChildren and Youth Services Review2026
Care-experienced adults are at an increased risk of poor mental health outcomes. Disentangling the role care plays in these outcomes is challenging. This paper reports findings from a qualitative study that aimed to identify aspects of care experience with the potential to influence mental health outcomes. Semi-structured interviews were conducted with 10 care-experienced adults (6 female, 4 male; ages 18–34) from across the UK. Interviews were g…
Associations Between Motivations for Cannabis Use and “the Munchies”
Open AccessJennifer Davies-Owen, Jennifer Davies‐Owen et al.ARTICLESubstance Use & Misuse2025
BACKGROUND: The Cannabis Eating Experience Questionnaire (CEEQ) was developed and validated with a two-factor structure for the assessment of cannabis effects on both the appetitive factors that initiate eating and the hedonic factors that maintain an eating episode. The relationship between the CEEQ and cannabis use motives has not yet been considered. The study aimed to confirm the two-factor structure of the CEEQ and explore associations with …

Open AccessRebecca Evans, Paul Christiansen et al.ARTICLEAppetite2025Citada por: 1Referências: 42
Household food insecurity - a lack of reliable access to food that is safe, nutritious, and sufficient for normal growth - is associated with physical and mental ill-health. In the UK and many countries worldwide, food insecurity has been exacerbated by the cost-of-living crisis and is a major public health concern. To identify potential points of intervention, it is important to understand how food insecurity is associated with individual-level …
Investigating the mediating role of physical activity within the association between food insecurity and BMI
Open AccessThomas Gough, Oli Brown et al.ARTICLEAppetite2025Citada por: 1Referências: 31
Food insecurity is linked with obesity and while the mechanisms behind this association are complex, lower levels of leisure-time physical activity in those with food insecurity may contribute to this. Individual-level factors (such as concerns of performing physical activity) may partly determine levels of physical activity within individuals with food insecurity, as such individuals may seek to minimise their levels of physical activity in orde…

Development and Validation of the Maternal Drinking Motives Scale (M-DMS)
Open AccessPaul Christiansen, Sally Hunt et al.ARTICLESubstance Use & Misuse2024
Background Alcohol use is a gendered behavior and motherhood is a life stage which may influence drinking motives. However, there are no drinking motive scales uniquely tailored to maternal populations. This work developed a new maternal drinking motives scale (M-DMS) and determined associations between the M-DMS and alcohol-related behavior.Methods An online observational survey (n = 534) and online test–retest survey (n = 164) were conducted wi…
Postpartum-Specific Anxiety and Maternal–Infant Bonding
Open AccessChiara Ionio, Giulia Ciuffo et al.ARTICLEEuropean Journal of Investigation…2024
The role of anxiety is unknown in relation to postpartum bonding, unlike the well-known detrimental effect that postpartum depression has on the relationship between a mother and child. This study investigates how anxiety affects mother–infant bonding after childbirth, comparing the Italian version of the Postpartum Specific Anxiety Scale (PSAS-IT) with generalized measures of anxiety. Examining 324 non-randomly-selected participants responding t…

Towards measuring food insecurity stigma
Open AccessNatalie Taylor, Emma Boyland et al.ARTICLEBMC Public Health2024
The FISS and FSES provide valid tools for quantifying aspects of stigma relating to the experience of food insecurity and accessing food support respectively. Development of these two scales may provide an important first step towards measuring stigma. developing interventions which reduce this psychological burden, and working to promote psychological wellbeing within populations experiencing food insecurity
Testing a conceptual Hierarchy of Effects model of food marketing exposure and associations with children and adolescents’ diet-related outcomes
Open AccessBridget Kelly, Emma Boyland et al.ARTICLEPublic Health Nutrition2024
Objective: Children’s exposure to unhealthy food marketing contributes to poor diets by influencing the foods that children like, request, buy and consume. This study aimed to use confirmatory mediational analyses to test a hypothetical model of marketing effects, to better understand the mechanisms behind food marketing’s impacts on children. Design: Children responded to a cross-sectional online survey about their attitudes towards, and purchas…
The development and validation of the food insecurity physical activity concerns scale
Open AccessThomas Gough, Paul Christiansen et al.ARTICLEAppetite2024Citada por: 2Referências: 29
Food insecurity - defined as having limited access to nutritious foods - is linked with obesity. Previous research has also shown that food insecurity is associated with lower levels of leisure-time physical activity (physical activity performed outside of essential activities). This association may occur in part due to concerns about preserving levels of energy during times of food shortage. Currently, no scale exists which measures this constru…

Inhibitory control training for appetitive behaviour change
Open AccessAndrew Jones, Lisa C G Di Lemma et al.ARTICLEAppetite2016Citada por: 37Referências: 63
Inhibitory control training (ICT) is a novel intervention in which participants learn to associate appetitive cues with inhibition of behaviour. We present a meta-analytic investigation of laboratory studies of ICT for appetitive behaviour change in which we investigate candidate mechanisms of action, individual differences that may moderate its effectiveness, and compare it to other psychological interventions. We conducted random-effects generi…

Is the effect of menu energy labelling on consumer behaviour equitable? A pooled analysis of twelve randomized control experiments
Open AccessEric Robinson, Emma Boyland et al.ARTICLEAppetite2023Citada por: 2Referências: 30
Menu energy labelling has been implemented as a public health policy to promote healthier dietary choices and reduce obesity. However, it is unclear whether the influence energy labelling has on consumer behaviour differs based on individuals’ demographics or characteristics and may therefore produce inequalities in diet. Data were analysed from 12 randomized control trials (N = 8508) evaluating the effect of food and drink energy labelling (vs. …

Many journalists and scholars overlook the discursive role of music in TV political advertisements. But we argue that music is a potent means of political persuasion. Music in advertisements is determinative; all other elements—images, voiceovers, sound effects, written text, and so on—are circumscribed by the music and interpreted in relation to it. Music determines an advertisement’s character through framing and underscoring; musical frames es…
